Child, men are constantly attempting to achieve various goals in life. Athletes spend much of their lives training and straining to reach their goals on fields of competition. The Apostle Paul wrote about athletes who vie for laurels on earth.
My children often think of Me as a God who may do this or that, a God who attempts to accomplish feats for them. They do err, however. I am JEHOVAH, Lord God Almighty. I do not attempt anything; I accomplish. My missions are always accomplished. I never fail. Selah.
“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid; for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.” (Isaiah 12:2) Read Psalm 83:18, Isaiah 26:4 from KJV.
