Let God Fight Your Battles

When was the last time you allowed God to fight your battle? In 2^nd Chronicles 20:15, we see how God spoke to Jehoshaphat saying, “Thus saith the Lord unto you, be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of the great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” As humans, we don’t always become cognizant of our limitations until God reveals to us that all the battle’s we face in this life, God says it’s not ours, but the Lord. Whatever battle you are going through today, asks God to give you His strength to work through your weaknesses and fears.

Everyday you and I fight the battle of temptation and against the rulers of the darkness of this world whose only mission is to get God’s people to not obey Him. If you have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you have God’s Spirit in you. Begin to ask God daily for His help when you are going through struggles. God will fight for you and He will always win! Before King Jehoshaphat prepared for battle, scripture says that he began by bowing his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the Lord. (2nd Chronicles 20:18)

No matter how much Satan rage against you, it’s your faith and trust in Jesus that will deliver you. Rest in God’s promises and expect God to bring you out of your situation. Psalm 46:6 says, “He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth.” Hold fast to your faith and continue to trust in Jesus. Be still, and know that He is God and He will be exalted among the heathen and in the earth.

Where is your battle? Is it in your finances, in your family, in tithing, in your marriage, in your health or at your workplace? I challenge you to take time each day and be still and exalt your Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ and see His mighty power move in your life. God will give you the strength as we begin to “We walk by faith, not by sight!”

Serving the Lord With Gladness,
