With everything going on in our lives, the constant trials and battles we seem to have to fight, to sometimes gets hard to even want to face tomorrow. But the good news is we can get up and face all our troubles, all our battles ahead of us with a smile on our face because someone will fight for us. You do not have to fight the battle, as a matter of fact the battle is not yours to fight anyway. Stand up, stand strong, hold on to your faith and watch as God fights the battle for you and deliver you from all your troubles right before your eyes. Praise God during the battle, praise God even when you can't see your way out, praise God when everything seems to be crashing around you, praise God even when it looks like the battle is being lost, because God will defeat all your enemies and deliver you from all your troubles. Have faith in God knowing that He will uphold you and make you successful. Put down your fist and let God fight for you because the battle is not yours but the Lord's.
15 ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.
17 You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and seethe deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.’”...
20 Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.” 21 After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendor of his[a] holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying:
“Give thanks to the Lord,
for his love endures forever.”
for his love endures forever.”
22 As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated.
~2 Chronicles 20:15, 17, 20-22
Thank you Brittney for this powerful and encouraging word from the Lord. So often we get sidetracked and discouraged by the battle that we forget we have a warrior who will not only fight for us but who has already deemed us Victorious in the battle. Thank you for this reminder. I love you! And I love the pictures! :-)
