Some Thoughts From Proverbs 21

Proverbs 21:31

³¹ The horse is made ready for the day of battle,
    but the victory belongs to the Lord.

A statement that is directed to the believer. All his accomplishments come under this condition, "the victory belongs to the Lord."

What we know as the Cavalry was the greatest war engine an army had. Victory was assured by the horses, both ridden and in harness, an army was able to mount. The best and most was assured victory ordinarily.

But not so when contested by the Lord’s army. The battle is to be fought with His weapons, in Psalm 23 they are the rod and the staff, and for His glory. Note David's statement to Goliath, this day I will kill you and by this, all will know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear. For the battle is the Lord’s. We very often lose because we are fighting the wrong battles with the wrong weapons.
