1Ki 20:11 | MHM | STEP | v. 11 : Ahab answered wisely, saying, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off . In other words, don’t brag about winning before the battle is over. This was a good reminder that we should not be proud or overconfident, especially before a struggle or challenge (Proverbs 27:1 ). In spiritual battles, too, we must stay humble and always trust in God, not in ourselves.
