Psalm 108:12
“Give us help from trouble, for the help of man is useless.”
When I was in high school, I had a fight with one of my classmates. Before the fight, I had planned with a friend to support me because I was sure he could defeat my opponent.
With that confidence, I went ahead with the fight, expecting my friend to step in at the right moment. However, to my surprise, he disappeared and never showed up to assist me.
After the fight—where I was thoroughly beaten—I found my friend and asked why he didn’t come to help. His response shocked me. He said he deliberately didn’t show up because I believed I could fight, and he wanted me to see that I couldn’t.
