The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD. — Proverbs 21:31
Even David had five smooth stones and a sling. Sometimes we need to look at the weapons we fight with and the tools build with. Do we walk into battle wearing Saul’s armor? Do we build kitchen cabinets with a sledge hammer and a chainsaw?
David’s sling and stone were useless without the presence of God. Our programs, approaches, techniques, weapons, tools, insights and whatever else we may have do nothing until energized by the powerful presence of God.
The widow had oil, God supplied the overflowing abundance. The boy had bread and fish, Jesus multiplied them. David had a sling and stone, God made the giant fall.
How do we know if we have the best approach? When we are ready to make room for God.
Be encouraged!
