THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU

With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God, to help us and to fight our battles. 2 Chronicles 32:8

A father was watching his young son try to dislodge a heavy stone. The boy couldn’t make the stone budge. “Are you sure you are using all your strength?” the father asked. “Yes, I am,” said the exasperated boy. “No you are not,” the father replied. “You haven’t asked me to help you.”

Like this father, God also wants to get involved in our battles but we have to ask Him to help us. He will not rudely jump into our affairs until we acknowledge His presence and call on Him.

When you see yourself surrounded on all sides by people with formidable and frightening weapons set against you, don’t be afraid. Yes, they have more than you have. Yes, they know more than you know. Yes, they talk big and make you feel small. But wait a minute – who is on their side? They may seem more equipped than you are but all of that is just the arm of flesh. It is the flexing of human muscle.

Now turn and look at yourself. Yes, you are inexperienced. Yes, you are just a little person. But with you is the Lord of Hosts. If the Lord fights in your corner, you have no fear of the giants who blow hot air against you.

The Lord will help you. The Lord will fight for you. He will give you the victory.

Prayer: Boldy declare your victory over all your enemies and challenges through Christ who strengthens you.
