You drove out the pagan nations by your power
and gave all the land to our ancestors.
You crushed their enemies
and set our ancestors free.
3 They did not conquer the land with their swords;
it was not their own strong arm that gave them victory.
It was your right hand and strong arm
and the blinding light from your face that helped them,
for you loved them. Psalm 44: 2,3

Each victory builds strength, “faith muscle”; increases faith for the next assault–and there will be one; as Pastor John Gray said, “Hell never takes a day off”. Strengthened faith multiplies HOPE; perspective changes to an expectation of God’s “good favor”; and all of this promotes JOY.
Very true.
