In life, we will face many battles, those of this world, and those internal battles against sin, and spiritual battles that involve the heavenly realms. When we face battles, we can choose to face them on our own, or we can seek God's strength for the battle.
Have you been fighting battles in your own strength? Then you know it has limits and that you will fall. It is in God's strength that we can find victory in our struggles. And each time we do, we bring glory to God. I love verse 5, "Your victory brings him great honor, and you have clothed him with splendor and majesty."
God doesn't need us, but when we serve God and fight in God's will and find victory, we lift God up. We show God to be great and mighty.
Just as our praises can lift up the Lord, so can our victories.
Trying to face battles alone, will just bring us failure. Rely on God and the Lord is glorified and you will find victory. Everyone wins. Remember that our strength is insufficient, but God's strength is more than enough for each battle!
