1 Samuel 1-3

"It is not by strength that one prevails;



10 those who oppose the LORD will be shattered.

He will thunder against them from heaven;

the LORD will judge the ends of the earth.

"He will give strength to his king

and exalt the horn of his anointed."



The anointing of God matters more than any earthly powers. Physical strength, wisdom, management ability can all be provided, as Samson and Solomon could attest. But without the anointing, the abiding intimacy with the Lord, the strength and wisdom will be lost...as Samson and Solomon could again both attest.
