God's Higher Mathematics

 

With God
we shall do valiantly.
It is He who will
   tread down our foes.

           Psalm 108. 13

(This was not
    David's first rodeo,
nor his first desperation.
He knew he could not
       go it alone
in whatever the fear,
both real and imagined.
With God
    completely changes
    the equation.
Valiantly in the Hebrew
   does not mean
   an instant effortless win,
but acting with strength
     as with an army.
We are not alone.
And with God
      in any capacity,
surprising things happen.)

O LORD,
We rely on You,
          Almighty One.
Not in our control.
Not in our skill set.
But with all our strength
   coming from You,
all our strength
    abiding in You.
O God,
we ask You to enter in
           this situation.
And You reply,
      "Already here."
Help us to be aware of You.
The variables may remain
                 the same,
but You change the equation.
It is not about an answer
        or solution
        or victory in our eyes,
but all about Your glory.
