Faith And The Iron Chariots

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jun 4, 2021

We often believe that God can help us, but only up to a certain point. This belief conceals a measure of self-trust. If Judah had demonstrated the same faith about the chariots of iron as about the mountaineers, the chariots of iron would have been no better than chariots of straw.

Judges 1:19 - So the LORD was with Judah. And they drove out the mountaineers, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the lowland, because they had chariots of iron. Background: Joshua had divided the inheritance among the children of Israel. However, there were still lands to be ...read more
