Scripture:

Proverbs 21:31

The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the Lord.

Where My Trust Is

Today's portion is a good reminder that if we don't "Go with God," if He is not "in it," then we shouldn't go.   Moses told the Lord in the desert that he did not want to go without God, to be without His presence.  It is also a reminder that God is the one who brings the victory in our lives.  

He brings victory in our:

• Plans
• Battles
• Struggles
• Salvation

To go without God is to go without strength, to rely solely on ourselves is foolish, I believe that is the point that Solomon is making.   One, don't think too highly of yourself, saying, "Lookhat I did." Second, we must recognize that it is God's presence that gives us the victory, that if He is with us, nothing can stand against us.

You can hear David's influence in his son's words: 

"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God" ~Psalm 20:7

What is the God Shot today?   Make plans, reach the mountaintops, don't be afraid to push forward, just don't do it without God's presence, don't do it without Him, include Him in your plans.   The word says a man's plans are established by the Lord, live in that.

Father, I thank you, Lord, that every victory I have had in my life has been because of your presence; you are doing that today. Keep me close to you, Lord, let my heart never be too proud, or stray from you and from your strength, be with me, give me victory, in Jesus' name, Amen!
