As captain at the host of the Lord am I now come
Josh. 5:14
Surely Israel might now face the foe with unwavering confidence, and sing of victory even before the battle was gained. And so may the Christian. It is to no conflict of uncertain issue that he advances; the result of the battle is not doubtful. The struggle may be severe, the warfare long; he may sometimes, like the pilgrim, be beaten to the ground, and well-nigh lose his sword; but “though cast down” he is “not destroyed.” The Captain of salvation is on his side, and in the midst of sharpest conflict he can say, “Thanks be unto God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

The path through life is fraught with many troubles and snares. They make us stumble. They cause us to fall. It is by the grace of our Lord that our victory is assured and not our own strength. Humility and faith are our salvation.
May the good Lord bless and keep you safe.
