183 Words1 Pages
The psalmist makes us understand that victories are realised through the help of God when we pray and not by our resources or abilities. We see throughout 1 Chronicles the qualities of the impressive army King David had to go to battle with but he didn’t win because of them. King David didn’t win the battles because of his superior wisdom or tactics or because his enemies were weak or stupid. Victory only came due to him taking territories in the place of praise, worship, prayer and intersession; God in answer to his cry granted him victory always.

There was a time when people did the right thing, i.e., they prayed to God for their needs and trusted to his mercy and grace for the future. The Bible commends this, “...but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” (Philippians 4:6), and, “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;” (Ephesians 6:18), and, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19) The spirit of foolishness has led many to abandon God, and to rely on man’s efforts for their welfare and wellbeing, as if the past have taught them nothing.

What would cause a 20-year-old, immediately after punishing the people who murdered his father, to invade Persia and eventually conquer it all? Arrian tends to believe and convey that it was a conquest of retaliation. Alexander wanted to invade and conquer Persia as they tried to conquer Greece 150 years earlier. One reason for this is because he wanted to continue with his father’s plan, but also so he could prove that Macedonians are just as much Greek as Athenians or Spartans. However, an underlying reason that Alexander would do this was because he wanted to become the King of all Asia to prove that he could accomplish the feat.

The book of Psalms was written to inspire the reader to the reality of how good, loving, gracious, merciful and faithful God is.

As King George V’s life comes closer to an end, the successor to him must be named. When his first born son, David (Edward VIII), accepts but then later declines the responsibility of king (on account that he is married to a divorcee and being the head of the Church of England would contradict that), it is passed on to his younger brother, Albert (or Bertie, as he is known by his family) (King George VI). Even though he is a smart, passionate man, his stammer doesn’t portray confidence to the public, and if they are to go to war with Hitler and his armies, that is a necessity. Elizabeth, Bertie’s wife, desperately wants Bertie to feel more confident and comfortable speaking at public events, whether or not he becomes king, so she applies for
