Christian Devotional: The Battle Is The Lord's
Christian Devotion on the Lord Fighting our Battles
And he said, "Listen, all
you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the LORD to you: 'Do not be
afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's ... You will not need
to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the LORD, who is with you, O
Judah and Jerusalem!' Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the LORD is with you." - 2 Chronicles 20:15 & 17 (NKJV)
This scripture here is a
promise we can hold on to when going through difficult circumstances that seem out of our control and overwhelming.
There are some battles that we simply can't fight—and shouldn't fight in our own strength. Sometimes God tells us
to take our positions, stand still and see His deliverance. Sometimes we need to take our hands off, stand back and
let God fight for us. We needn't fear what comes
against us, but to stand firm in our faith. God knows the whole situation. Though we feel overwhelmed when we look
at our circumstances, the Lord sees the whole picture and sees the way out for us. We need to let God have control
and fight the battle we're facing. He has promised that He is with us and that He will bring us through. If you are facing a battle
today that seems overwhelming, give it over to God and let Him fight for you. He will work it all out and make a way where it seems there is no way. When you pass through the waters, I will be
with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be
burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. - Isaiah 43:2 (NKJV)
