Good morning Beloved Brethren,

Topic: TRUST IN GOD FOR VICTORY
Text: Read: 1 Chronicles 5:20
Daily Bible Study: Num. 5-6; Mk. 3
“…They cried to God in the battle, and he was entreated of them because they put their trust in him” (1 Chron. 5:20).
The Soldiers in Israel’s army were very highly trained and skilled in war. These men were called “valiant” because they were strong and had great abilities. Yet, they only “prevailed” in battle because they always cried out to God and trusted Him for their victory; and He always answered their prayers. Though they fought skillfully and bravely, the real key was realizing that “The battle was God’s”. They did not depend on their own strength or abilities, but relied on God.
Trusting in God brought them peace when they might have been worried or afraid. He removed their burdens and assured them that He would help them develop the best strategies of winning wars. He gave them needed wisdom and knowledge. He went before them into battle, and was their shield and defence. Because of God guidance, they avoided and escaped the enemy’s traps in battles.
We fail to achieve victory because we trust in ourselves and depend on our physical strength and intellect. Many today trust in men, money, charms, influence, political and social status, science and technology, to give them victory over the battles that come their way; but these all combined will always fail. Trusting in God and committing our battles to Him, requires faith in Him. To have faith in Him, we must first believe in Him. Believing in God and trusting in Him is the key to our success in all battles that we face, be it spiritual or physical.
Prayer: Dear Father, thank You for all our past victories in the battles of life. Help us to continue trusting in You and to remain victorious. We pray in Jesus’ name – Amen.
