Isaiah 40:17 Before him all the nations are as nothing; they are regarded by him as worthless and less than nothing.

What does God think of countries, kingdoms and principalities? Apparently, not a lot! But the people within those places are a very different thing…

We see references all throughout history, from Job through David, through Christ and on; God looks at the people and what is in their hearts rather than the so called might and power of the countries.

Even though countries and kingdoms may have been put together with God’s help, they are still just that. Give God the glory and Him alone!

Psalm 8:4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?

Not matter what stature you have as a human being, whether you are a prince, queen, subject, slave, or any other kind of person, you still have the love of God!

God has shown us just how much He loves us through all the things which have happened in the past. He has made some very difficult decisions about who lives and who dies, but His grace and mercy was, and always is free to all.

We are the ones who squander it, reject it and ignore it. He continues in His love. He shows it from you right through to Jesus Christ; every human being is loved by God!

Zechariah 12:8 On that day the Lord will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the Lord going before them.

Throughout our history we can see evidence of how God has always backed Israel when they have obeyed Him; but as they start to depend on their own ways they start to fall.

But during those times they have God’s backing, even the weakest of men looks strong and is able to face the enemy just as David was able to face up to so many dangers.

Trusting and believing in God has amazing and wonderful privileges and rewards; trust in Him!

Joel 3:10 Beat your ploughshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weakling say, “I am strong!”

When the Lord calls us out to do something it should not only be the qualified who stand up to help but everyone who is able.

Here people are encouraged to leave their safe earthly lives behind and take what they have to forge new weapons to help with the fight ahead.

When we have God on our side, we are strong! When we have God with us, nothing can beat us! Don’t lay down a string of excuses, step forward!
