Through God we shall do valiantly; and it is He who will tread down our adversaries.
Like any other kid, I loved competetive games as I was growing up, and especially "futbol" (soccer). With any number of kids around, it didn't take us long to pick teams and go at it. But it was the "picking" that was key. We had various ways of deciding who would get to pick first; and that would usually be the game winner because he was the strongest player. That's who God is; The Game Winner! These promises of many, many years ago, to Israel, bore witness to the fact that God was there, actively involved in their needs, their care and their affairs. In a world of oppression and depression, gods and ghosts, fightings and fears, the knowledge of God for them was their hope. It was the knowledge that, with Him on their side, they couldn't lose. The victory would ultimately be theirs. This God hasn't changed. In the chaos of our world, He is still the same. Whatever, or whoever, our "adversaries" are today, this promise is still alive and well: "Through God we shall do valiantly; and it is He who will tread down our adversaries." So, a word to the wise, if you want to win, pick God.
