Read Proverbs 21:1 through 24:34
The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the Lord (Proverbs 21:31).
In the midst of life’s struggles have you ever asked yourself, “How much should I do, and what should I wait for God to do?”
God expects us to trust Him. There is no success in the spiritual realm without God, so we must always act in complete dependence upon Him. Trust in God, however, does not do away with the need for personal preparation. Preparation does not necessarily deny our trust in God.
In order to maintain this delicate but attainable balance and be assured of a victorious outcome you should ask yourself the following questions:
• Am I on the winning side?
• Have I done my best to equip myself for battle?
• Am I relying on the Lord to lead me to victory?
However you face the battles of life, arm yourself with the knowledge that you are on the winning side, do your best, and when success is obtained, give all the glory to God.
Challenge for Today: Do your part today and trust God for a successful outcome.
