It is better to trust in the Lord Than to put confidence in princes. Psalm 118:9

When the Christian fails to look at the Lord and begins to look at the wind, seeking to find errors in the people who help him fulfill his mission, he is certainly not well. He who began the good work will give you victory, if you persevere in following Him. He has the ability to make a one-hundred-year-old man become a father and a 90-year-old woman to bear a child. All things are possible to God! (Matthew 19:26). 

When flattering authorities, the believer loses divine help, honor and virtue. Do not exchange the wonderful life that awaits you in eternity for the momentary and immoral treat. Moses despised the temporary privilege of living in Pharaoh´s palace, as the son of that statesman, to be one more among the Hebrews. So, God didn’t let him be just “one more”, but someone who made a difference!

If the servant of the Lord trusts the princes of the people, he will begin a path of destruction that will lead him to the abyss. We were made children of God and we need to stay alert for at least an hour during the battles and never seek help from those who need help. Exchanging heavenly dignity to look after the kings of the world is to prove that we do not love the Lord.

For the saved in Christ to win, they must fix their eyes in the Author and Consumer of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). He is the only one that can transform water into wine and give us the strength when we feel weak in order to use a donkey´s jawbone as a weapon of destruction against a thousand men (Judges 15:15). By looking at the Savior, we will walk on waters, multiply the bread and fish and bring out the Lazarus’s from the tomb. Hallelujah! 

If we wish to win the battles, we must trust the Most High, looking only to the One who can raise up children of God from stones (Matthew 3:9). World evangelism must be fully carried out, because the Lord has given us authority for its fulfillment. As we trust in God, we will not embarrass Him.

Let us stay alert in prayer with Him for at least an hour. When tribulation comes, we will have the power to resist and show that we do not trust men, but in the Almighty, who is with us to give us victory, heal our bodies and souls, and carry out everything that concerns His wonderful plan. Let us take our eyes off the waters and place them on the victorious Christ!

How about renewing your vow to the Omnipotent who called you into battle? Why not comply with His will, if He promised to be with you wherever you are? Your right decision will make you successful. Why insist with the failures, ignoring the creative power of all things? There is no doubt that it is much better to trust the Lord than princes. The Lord is your strength, amen?

In Christ, with love,
