THE POWER OF PRAISE
Many of us are constantly defeated by the circumstances around us because we aren’t ready to accept that the battle is God’s, not ours. Even when we realize our own powerlessness to cope with the enemy, we are afraid to let go and trust ourselves to God’s power. This is where we’ve allowed our own understanding to assume the wrong position in our lives. We say, “I don’t understand; therefore I don’t dare believe.” God’s Word makes it clear that the only way out of that dilemma is the step of faith on our part. Believing that God’s promises are valid, accepting them, and daring to trust in them leads to understanding. The principle in the Bible is very clear here: Acceptance comes before understanding. From Power in Praise, by Merlin R. Carothers, published by Logos, Plainfield, New Jersey, 1972
