Our God is dependable, He is faithful, and we know what His promises are, but these are the images we have of him from afar. We know that He will defend us, go to war for us, and win the day, but on the eve of every battle our God surprises us, and our enemy, with the new strategy He has prepared for the next day’s conflict. So why is it that we ourselves get so rooted in our faith, and never attempt to surprise our enemy, or thrill our friends, with how we implement our newness of faith, or the freshly forged sword of the Word He has given us?
