And he said, Listen, all Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat: Thus says the Lord to you, ‘Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God’s.’
- 2 Chronicles 20:15 ESV
As Children of God, we mistakenly think that because we are in God, everything in life will go smoothly.
However, the reality is that in this life we will have trials and tribulations.
The Lord never said life would be without trouble. He said He would be with us through it.
We endure battles to be fortified. God is building up our strength and endurance in him.
Every time we endure a battle and a hardship we grow in wisdom and understanding!
Learning to always rely on God, no matter the battle, ensures our victory. The devil has already lost.
The Bible says God is working everything out for our good. Even in trials, know that there is good within for you.
Praise God. Praise him in the battle. It will confuse the enemy. He will scratch his head, didn’t I just attack her?! Why is she praising God?
“And when they began to sing and praise, the Lord set an ambush against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah, so that they were routed.” 2 Chronicles 20:22 ESV
It’s in your praise that you receive the victory. Despite what their physical situation was, they had already won.
Know that no matter what you are facing, the battle is God’s. The victory is God’s. You have already won. Praise him in your battle. The battle is no longer yours, but God’s.
Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you that the battle is yours. The victory is yours. I will praise you all the days of my life. I will trust in you and rely on you. When battles arise, I will trust in you to strengthen me and fortify me that I may endure to the end. I lift your Holy Name. Thank you, Father, for always being with me.
In Jesus Mighty Name I pray,
Amen.
With Love,
Corrin
