God Provides

Ps 44:1-3

With our own ears we have heard it, O God —
our ancestors have told us about it,
about the great things you did in their time,
in the days of long ago:
2 how you yourself drove out the heathen
and established your people in their land;
how you punished the other nations
and caused your own to prosper.
3 Your people did not conquer the land with their swords;
they did not win it by their own power;
it was by your power and your strength,
by the assurance of your presence,
which showed that you loved them.
TEV

God provides. This has been shown in many ways, in many stories we find in the Word. The Psalmist remembers how God gave His people a new land. It was His power and His strength that enabled the Israelites to be established in that place. God did what they could not. He does the same thing through Jesus. Through that same power, He provides a truly new land to those who trust in Him: the Kingdom of God.

In all these things the Love of God is revealed. What we could not do on our own, He does for us. He loves us.
