And it came to pass that when they had fled we did pursue them with our armies, and did meet them again, and did beat them; nevertheless the strength of the Lord was not with us; yea, we were left to ourselves, that the Spirit of the Lord did not abide in us; therefore we had become weak like unto our brethren.
If we insist on relying on our own strength, the Spirit of the Lord will withdraw. We will then see how truly weak we really are. Sometimes we need to be reminded of how dependent we are upon the power of God in our lives. When we become proud and self-sufficient, the Lord gives us a taste of what life would be like without him. I for one do not want to be without God in the world.
