All is possible when God’s glory is the goal.

Me too. It doesn’t take an army to win a war. It takes God.

From David:

46 This day the LORD will hand you over to me, and I'll strike you down and cut off your head. Today I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. 47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give all of you into our hands."

Interesting that you posted that. I read that passage just a few days ago.

As everyone has said... Thanks for the timely reminder. It gets a tad harder everyday to see the victory.

This is one of my all time favorite stories of the Bible as it so clearly paints the picture that when our ‘resources’ seem to be getting stripped away, it’s GOD doing it to show His might and power!!

Have faith people! God is stripping away what we saw a right and just in the US so when He steps in and saves us no one will have one single doubt where it came from...HIM!

Thank you for the post. Amen!

NOT by the sword, but by FAITH will we overcome. Keep the Faith, no matter what.

The moral of the story is if you have faith enough to be obedient when God first calls you, He doesn’t have to drastically remove your false security to show you He is all you need to fulfill His plans.
