1 Samuel 2:9
He will guard the feet of his faithful servants, but the wicked will be silenced in the place of darkness. “It is not by strength that one prevails;

As God’s people walk on this earth and walk in the light, the Lord will guard and guide their steps, but the wicked will walk in spiritual darkness because they depend on their own wisdom and strength.

It may seem that the wicked “have it made,” but one day the storm of God’s wrath will burst upon them in fierce judgment. God is longsuffering with those who resist Him, but their day is coming.

Application

Thank God for showing His grace in your life to get back to him whenever you almost relied on your own ability or wisdom or other things which made you feel secure more than God.
