Does God sometimes leave us to fight our battles alone (and lose) even though we are not being rebellious against Him?
Now, I know that generally speaking, God stopped fighting for Israel when Israel stopped worshiping God, so the claim here that the Israel is sinless is kinda suspect. And the scary thing is, this idea that God doesn't always intervene plays into the argument that many non-believers have against Christianity- that if God does exist, He is so far removed He doesn't care.
Personally, I think God does leave us to our own devices...sometimes. I also think He lets us fail on our own sometimes. Why? We haven't sinned, we've not rebelled.
Teachable moments.
God lets us go it alone, and fail, so we can be reminded that we need Him. Just like the psalmist realizes and cries out for. But I also think that maybe sometimes God allows us to go it alone and succeed. The reason? God is making us better, and I believe God wants us to succeed. So I think there may be times where God says "Go and do," and then sits back and watches His child succeed. In fact, I think this happens more often than not. It does not lessen or weaken the power and glory of God, instead it promotes it. It shows that when we succeed, even without God's direct intervention, it is still because of how He has made us and matured us.
Even when God does not act, He still demonstrates His glory through us.
