"The
Lord gave victory to David wherever he went" (2 Samuel 8:6,14). Help
us, Lord, never to forget where the victory comes from. It comes from
You. It's Your victory - and You give it to us. You direct our attention
away from ourselves. You direct our attention to Jesus. He says to us,
"Without Me, you can do nothing" (John 15:5). This is a warning to us.
We must not try to live in our own strength. Help us to look to Jesus -
and to say, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
(Philippians 4:13).
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
