War Horses

“An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.”  Psalm 33:17

It is a great misconception to put our hope of deliverance in the war horses of life.  Although these horses appear to be strong in their outer shell when they are compared to the Omnipotent GOD they become thin air and their power dissolves. 

Such wonderful strength we have in our GOD, His power to solve any situation is ever before the believer.  Why is there a need of a war horse when we have its Creator before us?  Why are we, so blinded by these war horses and forget where the real power is?

War horses are visible to us, they become our god’s!  Where is our faith? Did we not begin in faith?  When we come to Christ we see our inability and failure, in desperate need, we come to the Savior by faith.  

Living by the same faith from where we began, crowns CHRIST as King; He is our GOD, our Power and our Strength.  There is no other power like His power.  We will never find our victory in war horses.  Victory comes in CHRIST and Him alone.  

I put my hope in a mighty steed.

He looked robust and strong.

But when the heat of the battle came.

He failed, and I was wrong.

I learned not to waist my time,

And depend on such worthless hope.

Power comes from CHRIST alone,

Through Him I can always cope.  

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.  Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”  1 John 5:4-5
