Joshua 21
King James Version (KJV)
44 And the Lord gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand.
Comments:
A nation is blessed when it has rest from warfare, or when enemies are unable to stand before it in battle. What makes all the difference is whether God is on a nation's side. He is the ally that a nation should seek—not ungodly nations considered "world powers." A weak nation with God on its side is in much better shape than powerful nations that oppose God, for God could easily grind them to powder.
