A Strong Need

“…for they cried out to God in the battle, and He answered their prayers because they trusted in Him.” (1 Chronicles 5:20)

When the Reubenites went to war, they came up against stiff opposition.  War is a bloody thing, and terror can grip even the mightiest of men when their lives are held in the balance.  The stakes are high in the heat of the battle.

         And that is why the above verse is so poignant.  The Reubenites won the battle because they cried out, not because they were more valiant warriors.  It wasn’t the strength of their blades that mattered; it was their trust in God that tipped the scales.

         We are strongest when we are honest about our need for Him.
