day no. 15,445: doubled down on grace

Psalm 60:12, 108:13
With God we shall do valiantly;
it is He who will tread down our foes.

WITH GOD we shall do valiantly

With God all things are possible. When you are with Him, you enter into His joy. He has pleasures forevermore at His right hand and when you are with Him, those pleasures are yours. When you seek Him and His kingdom as a first priority, all these other things will be added to you. Those who are with God should expect to see God move. 

With God WE SHALL do valiantly

You cannot be with God and remain unmoved. The promise afforded to those who throw themselves down at Jesus' feet is that they will be raised up. Just as He prompted the bowing, He will empower the rising. We cannot be with Him unless He first called us and if He called us, He will continue on with us.

With God we shall DO VALIANTLY

Those who aim at honor fall short. Those who aim at God end up honorable. The same can be said for bravery and valiance. If you aim to be brave and filled with valor, you will only discover your cowardice or find yourself faking it with brashness. But if you aim at God, you will find yourself brave, you will discover yourself diligent amidst the danger and you will become courageous. You cannot be ambivalent and be with God. You cannot remain being pulled in two opposing ways. To be with God is to be pulled in His direction, moved where He is moving, following where He is leading. You cannot be with God and not emboldened to act and that which is performed out of that overflow will be valiant. God makes us praiseworthy by His grace and then doubles down on grace to praise us for what He moved us to do.
