Today's reading is Psalms 108-112
The end of Psalm 108 makes it very clear that without God we fail, but with him, we succeed. Yes, we may have some victories if we try and work without God but ultimately, we lose.
Throughout history, there are proofs that just because you win the battles you don’t win the war. The American revolution is a perfect example. In battle after battle, the British won or at least weren’t defeated. Yet just the right number were won and finally, the last battle was won. The undersized and outmanned colonies won independence.
How much more is it with God. Time after time men turn from him and it seems God’s plans are falling apart, but God is never defeated. In truth, very often what seems like defeat is what He uses for victory (the cross for example).
We need to remember this and always look to God to bring us to the place of ultimate victory.
