But go, act, be strong for the battle. Why should you suppose that God will cast you down before the enemy? For God has the power to help or cast down.
It speaks for itself. Context: Judah is going out to battle with Edom. However, their king paid some soldiers from Israel to come help him out. A man of God came to him and was like "what are you doing? God can totally win; why did you buy help?"
When faced with an enemy or even the enemy, it's easy to track down things of this world to help us win. It's difficult to trust in God's power. Not because His power isn't enough but because our faith is wanting. For example, men. I want to get married as much as the next girl. I struuggggle with this sometimes. It is tempting to try and win this battle by being less selective and more aggressive (for lack of better words) but it is hard for me to believe I will do any better. God can defeat the enemy - which in ths case is loneliness - and help me go on.
Maybe it was a strange example, but there are better ones. The point is God is waaaaayyyy more powerful than we often give Him credit for. We tend to forget just how much He can do.
Lord, let me never forget Your power or what You can do. I want to trust that You will solve my problems.
Amen. Amen. Amen.
