What does "with God we will perform with valor" teach about divine partnership?

◄ Divine partnership's valor lesson? ►

The verse in focus

“ With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.” (Psalm 60:12; cf. Psalm 108:13)

What the phrase actually says

• “With God”—not merely “for” or “about” God. The preposition signals a side-by-side relationship.

• “we will perform”—action is expected from us; partnership never breeds passivity.

• “with valor”—courage and victory are assumed outcomes when God is the senior Partner.

• “He will trample our enemies”—God supplies the decisive power; our valor is real, yet His triumph is ultimate.

Core lessons about divine partnership

• Mutual involvement

– God supplies strength (Isaiah 41:10).

– We step out in obedient action (James 2:17).

• Clear division of roles

– Our part: show up, fight in faith (1 Samuel 17:45-47).

– God’s part: secure the victory (Exodus 14:13-14).

• Assurance in adversity

– Enemies exist, but their defeat is guaranteed when God is with us (Romans 8:31).

• Valor is Spirit-infused, not self-generated

– Courage flows from His presence (Joshua 1:9).

• Partnership magnifies God’s glory

– When weak people do “valiantly,” observers credit the divine Partner (2 Corinthians 4:7).

Living this truth today

1. Identify the “battlefront” God has placed before you—family, workplace, ministry.

2. Consciously acknowledge His active presence before engaging.

3. Act boldly, trusting Him to supply the outcome.

4. Celebrate victories as evidence of His trampling power, not personal prowess.
