Use the Right Strategy
"Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established" – Proverbs 16:3
When life comes at you hard, it is tempting to charge forward with emotion. Passion rises. Urgency kicks in. You want to fix it fast, solve it now, do something big. But if you’re not careful, you will mistake movement for progress and energy for strategy.
Winning the battle is not just about fighting hard. It’s about fighting smart. You need wisdom. You need direction. You need God’s voice more than your own instincts. Because some battles are not won through sheer willpower. They are won through intentional, Spirit-led strategy.
This applies to your family, your finances, your mindset, and your purpose. If the enemy has attacked any area of your life, you cannot afford to go in without a plan. Ask God for guidance. Slow down enough to hear. What is your next move? Who should you talk to? What habits need to change? Where do you need to apply focus and discipline?
Sometimes God will lead you to wait. Other times, He will call you to act quickly. But either way, the power is not in how loud you shout. The power is in obeying the strategy He gives you.
Think about the times you’ve rushed into something because you were angry, frustrated, or desperate. How did that work out? Now imagine what would change if you paused, prayed, and planned. That is where real strength lies.
This is not about being passive. It’s about being purposeful. Let your moves be led by clarity, not chaos. Let your next steps come from the presence of God, not the pressure of the moment. You don’t need to fight blindly. God is not only with you, He wants to lead you. Trust His strategy. It will always be better than yours.
