Psalm 108
–A Song. A Psalm of David. 1 O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. 2 Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn. 3 I will praise You, O LORD, among the peoples, And I will sing praises to You among the nations. 4 For Your mercy is great above the heavens, And Your truth reaches to the clouds. 5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, And Your glory above all the earth; 6 That Your beloved may be delivered, Save with Your right hand, and hear me. 7 God has spoken in His holiness: “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem And measure out the Valley of Succoth. 8 Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet for My head; Judah is My lawgiver. 9 Moab is My washpot; Over Edom I will cast My shoe; Over Philistia I will triumph.” 10 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom? 11 Is it not You, O God, who cast us off? And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies? 12 Give us help from trouble, For the help of man is useless. 13 Through God we will do valiantly, For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.[a]

This is the scripture God gave me this morning. It is a great reminder of what we are to called to do....it is a Psalm that David wrote...he was a worship warrior....something we should all desire to be and what God created us to do.
I especially love the last line..verse 13 that says...Through God we will do valiantly, for it is He who shall tread down our enemies.
Note is says "through God we will do valiantly", not by our own accord we will have everything we want. It also doesn't say that God is going to give us everything we ask for...He isn't a genie...He doesn't have a lamp we can rub and get three wishes. It says "through God" that means in relationship with Him...His daily presence in our lives...then we will do valiantly...which means: 1 : possessing or acting with bravery or boldness : courageous 2 : marked by, exhibiting, or carried out with courage or determination : heroic
Possessing or exhibiting boldness and courage....can we do that on our own...no...but through God...He will give us this boldness of courage and determination.
