The KEY... (Revelation 3:7)

He governs, guards, guides and guarantees His own kingdom.

"These things says He who is holy, He who is true, "He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no ones opens" (Revelation 3:7).

Older Testament reference:

"And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.

And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.

In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it" (Isaiah 22:22-25).

War strategies work for a world without God... but they are a double jeopardy for the people who MUST seek first the kingdom of God and His ways. Not only will your plan fail... but your failure to rely on other means will get you out of favor with God.
"Commit to the Lord, right now, with all that you are and all that you have. It's important to not get stuck in what you know, or what you experienced yesterday, and don't hold on to what you understand about the situation, your view is limited, but He sees it all. Seek Him, in everything you do, and ask Him what to do next and then trust what He says. Yes, trust Him with everything, with the big and the small, the significant and insignificant
