By man strength

1 Samuel  2:9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

 Human strength, on its own, is limited and insufficient to secure lasting success and fulfillment in our lives. We often find ourselves relying on our own abilities, talents, and resources, thinking that we can achieve great things through our own efforts. 

However, the Word of God reminds us that true success and protection come from something far greater than our own strength.

Our human strength can only take us so far, but it is the divine guidance and providence of God that ultimately determine our journey's outcome. When we trust in Him and seek His guidance, He becomes our guiding light.

 On the contrary, those who rely solely on their own strength, without acknowledging God's presence and sovereignty, are described as "wicked" and are destined to perish in darkness. This darkness represents the consequences of a life lived without God's guidance, devoid of spiritual illumination and purpose.

The scriptural verse verse for today gives a powerful reminder that good success cannot be achieved by human strength alone. no matter how great our achievements may seem, are ultimately dependent on God's grace and providence. When we acknowledge our dependence on Him, our strength is made perfect in our weakness.

Little David cannot just win over the Goliath, even the ever trained soldier Saul was full of fear. But David relying on the strength and power of God became victorious. 

 We are  called to surrender our pride, our self-reliance, and our ego-driven desires. Instead, let us humbly acknowledge God's role in our lives, seeking His guidance, strength, and wisdom in all that we do.

In conclusion, let us remember that "By Man's Strength" alone, we may achieve some temporal victories, but it is "By God's Strength" that we secure eternal success and walk in the light of His grace. May we all strive to be faithful, to trust in God's guidance, and to live our lives in a way that honours His divine plan. Amen. 

God bless you.
