No human wisdom or understanding or plan
can stand against the Lord.
31
The horse is prepared for the day of battle,
but the victory belongs to the Lord.
Verse 30
Some people think that selfish ambitions are wise (James 3:14-15). This is not really wisdom, and it cannot defeat God.
Some people think that they are clever. They think that there is no God. The Bible calls them ‘fools’ (Psalm 14:1). Their intelligence cannot defeat God. Their knowledge cannot defeat God.
The devil plots against us. He wants to destroy us (1 Peter 5:8). But his plans cannot defeat God. In the end, God will destroy the devil (Revelation 20:10).
Evil people might think that they are strong. They might insult God. They might even think that they are stronger than God. But God is in heaven. When he hears this, he laughs at them. Their insults cannot bother God. (Psalm 2:1-4)
Verse 31
For Solomon, his horses were like today’s tanks. (Tanks are strong, powerful, army vehicles.) A horse was strong and fast in a battle. It could pull a chariot (vehicle) or carry a soldier. The enemy was afraid of the horses.
Horses need food, water and exercise. Soldiers trained the horses for the battle. But the strength of the horses could not win the battle. A large, powerful army does not always win the war, even today. God decides who wins. See 1 Samuel 14:6-15, Joshua 5:13-6:25 and 1 Samuel 17.
Think About This : If you would like to accomplish
something really meaningful in life, I would suggest that you look
for something that will uplift the poor, widows, orphans or
something that will bring peace. Don’t worry about having
enough resources. Instead, ask the Holy Spirit if the project is
something that God wants accomplished. If it is, go for it and let
God supply your needs.
