There are men who believe that the battle between The Righteousness of God and the wickedness of man is in the hands of men.   I will agree, in part, that man is directly involved in this war.  There is a saying being promoted, “We will be the key.”  um, I don’t think so.  The battle belongs to the Lord Most High through Jesus, His Righteous Son!

It was not the strength of man which parted the sea for God’s people.  It was not the strength of man which brought the Lord’s people out of Egypt.  It was not the strength of man which provided the manna every morning for 40 years.  It was not the strength of man that shut the lion’s mouths, rendered the flames harmless, brought droughts upon a wicked land, nor brought the rain at the prayer of a righteous man.  It was the Lord who did all this.  And we will remember that those who thought they could subdue demons (in the book of Acts) were beaten bloody because they relied on their own strength.  Those men might have been (at least to man’s perception) righteous men.  But they did not embrace the power of the Lord in their attempted conquest of evil.

It was, is, and always will be, the strength of the Lord which delivers His people; individually as well as nationally.  Be wise and remember.  Or at least be wise and read.
