Scripture: Proverbs 21:31 (NASB 1977)
"The horse is prepared for the day of battle,
But victory belongs to the LORD."
Commentary:
Proverbs recognizes preparation, but it also puts limits on what military power can guarantee. Sending naval escorts and underwriting shipping risk shows how quickly trade routes can become contested, and sailors are the ones who feel that pressure first.

Stay sober and prayerful.
