1Hear, O Israel: Today you are about to cross the Jordan to go in and dispossess nations greater and stronger than you, with large cities fortified to the heavens. 2The people are strong and tall, the descendants of the Anakim. You know about them, and you have heard it said, “Who can stand up to the sons of Anak?” 3But understand that today the LORD your God goes across ahead of you as a consuming fire; He will destroy them and subdue them before you. And you will drive them out and annihilate them swiftly, as the LORD has promised you.
Strength, ours or His?
On their own the Israelites couldn’t stand up to the sons of Anak but the Lord was a consuming fire 🔥 that will destroy them and subdue them!
Without the Lord the Israelites wouldn’t have a leg to stand on.
The same is with us also, without the Lord Jesus how do we get through another day in this world? He heals the broken hearted, makes the weak strong and supplies grace that isn’t deserved or earned.
What is your source for strength?
Blessings
