God’s way

So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.
Zechariah 4:6 (NKJV)

To win the battle of life, you need to focus your strength in the praise of Him, for He inhabits the praise of His people. To focus on something else is to live an inefficient and ineffective life. Joshua in the Battle of Jericho laid down the arms and chose to implement God's way for dealing with Life's battles (Joshua 4). Hannah knew better with the ridicule and provocations from Peninnah and her children that her fist or anger could not match the challenge at hand but only her faith in Him - who never forgets - could make her prevail and this she pursued rigorously (1 Samuel 1). The faith fight may seem long, bitter, sore and endless, but the end is so sweet, joyous and eternal.

For His anger endureth but a moment; in His favor is life; Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Psalm 30:5 (NKJV)

I pray the Lord will continually give us the wisdom to apply faith in all our challenges and walk with Him. Faith your issues one on one, put on the garments of praise, thank God for the present situation, glorify him, Bless his name for where you currently are, and what he will do and continue to walk in His will at all times. This is the King’s way, it never fails.
