Gods idea of strength and mans idea of strength are opposites! The Lord told Paul, My strength is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Having learned this lesson, Paul could then say, When I am weak, then I am strong (2 Corinthians 12:10). Only when Paul admitted his own weakness and was willing to get out of the way could God take over and work. If we try to do Gods will in our own strength, then we can take the credit for whatever gets accomplished. But that isnt Gods way!! When we let His strength work through us, then He alone will get the glory-and that is how it should be. In the Old Testament God repeatedly told the leaders of Israel to reduce the size of their armies, and sometimes He announced in advance how their victory would be won. Why?? So they would place their trust in Him and not in their own strength. As someone has said, Gods work, done in Gods way, will never lack for Gods provision. I hope each of you reading this will feel the touch from the Holy Spirit today and find that Gods way is the only way. God Bless You
