I fought smarter.” But instead, he says in 2 Samuel 22:32-40, “God did it.” Look at how David describes it: “He made my way blameless.” “He made my feet like a deer’s.” “He trains my hands for war.” David knew that his strength, his success, and his survival were all because of God. But that didn’t make him passive. He still fought. He still pursued. So which is it? Did God do it, or did David? Both. God’s providence and our obedience work together. 3 Points of Prayer Lord, keep me from the pride of taking credit for what You’ve done. Help me trust Your power instead of my own strength.
