Daily Walking, Working, and Winning by God's Word by Rev. Dr. Alvin C. Hathaway Sr.

Last night I listened to President Obama's speech outlining the current budget issue and debt ceiling. He didn't seem forceful in his explanation, but somewhat tentative. The Republican Party at a minimal has caused server stagnation in Washington. As President it seems he is not able to get his way. At every point, he is meeting with resistance.

The President, just like us, may not realize that when times are tough, that’s the time you appeal to God for his mercy and protection. In the rough and tough world of Washington, and the rough and tough world of life, God has a force beyond number that he can unleash on your behalf.

All the forces of heaven are at His beck and call. Legions of angels are ready to respond to God's command. Sometimes we are blinded by the forces of evil arrayed against us. All you need to do is to look to the hills from whence cometh you strength, and you will discover a band of angels circling your enemies. The battle is not yours. It is the Lord's.

If you are a solider of the cross, be encouraged, for the enemy is powerless compared to the forces God has. His forces are beyond number, and they are available to you. Yes, Mr. President they are also available to you.
