It was not by your sword or your bow…Joshua 24:12a

So often we think we did the conquering. But, as I am reading through Joshua, I am reminded that God is doing the work.

Sometimes I look for that magic formula for success. Or I am sure that what I said made the difference.

Maybe it is less about me.

And maybe it is more about what God is doing in the hearts of others.

Maybe my sword and bow isn’t a part of the success.

Whatever it is that needs to be conquered or overcome may need some action on my part but really is more about what God is doing.

Every day I relinquish things to God and then scoop them back up to fret about and try to control.

In truth, my best offense and defense is God!
