His Word, My Strength: Fuel for Today’s Journey

SATURDAY, 19 JULY 2025

 

TEXT: Psalm 18:30-50

 

TOPIC: WHO TAKES THE CREDIT FOR YOUR SUCESSES?

 

David rose from being a fugitive to an influential king. He gives all the credit to the Lord: “It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer…he trains my hands for battle…” (Psalm 18:32-36).

It is God that gives kings victory. But secular politicians ascribe their successes to human beings.

In Nigeria, four opposition parties had formed a coalition to challenge the ruling PDP during the Goodluck Jonathan administration. The coalition, which came to be known as the APC, included CAN, APGA, ANPP and CPC.

Lai Mohammed, who later became information minister, was quoted to have said: “We are very confident that with this merger it’s a matter of time before you see the total defeat of the PDP as a result of this merger.”

Apparently, God was not in the equation but the power of the coalition.

 

QUESTION: Do you attribute your success to God or other mundane forces?

 

PRAYER: Help me to attribute all of my successes and victories to You and You alone. Amen.

Remain Blessed
