Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. (Psalm 108:12-13) Valiantly: being marked by bravery or valor; with courage. Just think about what this Psalm, this prayer, really shield for our spiritual lives; that with God, we have the ability to act with courage because He outweighs the fears or doubts in our lives. But have you wondered why trusting God brings us courage whereas trusting people brings us doubt? I mean, you can’t see God, nor can you touch God. However, there is something about Good that brings you confidence when you think about His presence walking with you. Isn’t that the reason why countless sports teams pray to God for victory? Isn’t that why even non believing atheists point up to God in hope of a higher being being there? I don’t know what fears and doubt you have because people have failed you over and over. In fact I can’t even begin to tell you how jaded I am because the shortcomings of people in my life. I can tell you that, just like the writer of this Psalm, you can do good to remind yourself that with God walking with you, or on your side, you can go valiantly into any and every situation that would otherwise cause fear or doubt. I want you to boldly pray, “God help us from trouble, for with you, we shall go valiantly.” Be known for your valiant actions in the spheres of your life and allow God to be the source of that bravery.
