Exodus 32:1-35; Psalms 81:1-82:8; Acts 19:21-41
Asa cried…Lord, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O Lord our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O Lord, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee. 2 Chronicles 14:11
God, who is able to deliver, allows enemies of various magnitude and duration into our lives to enable spiritual growth. In them He desires our dependence, that He may victoriously reveal the magnitude of His power. No matter today’s challenges—be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the
battle is not yours, but God’s (2 Chron. 20:15). —D. J. Reed
Thy Saviour has passed through its portal before thee,
And the lamp of His love is thy guide through the gloom. —Author Unknown
