ONLY IN YOUR NAME
Today's reading: Leviticus 21-22, Mark 6:1-13, Psalm 44

"You are my King and my God. You command victories for your people. Only by your power can we push back our enemies; only in your name can we trample our foes." Psalm 44:4-5 NLT

We won't win without God on our side.

Oh, we may advance a bit, become victorious in a few minor skirmishes and quite possibly hold the enemy's flag for a few brief seconds--but we won't win, not without Him.

We won't be able to subdue our enemy unless we allow God to do it through us.

No matter how strong we are.

Or how smart we are.

Or how many resources we believe to be at our disposal.

If He is not in it, it won't last.

If He is not your backbone, you won't stand strong.

If He is not your first line of defense, you're wasting your time--and quite possibly endangering the lives of others.

If He is not your only hope, you cannot expect to win and maintain victory.

So do it with God. What ever it is you are called to do, do it with Him.
