One man of you puts to flight a thousand, since it is the Lord your God who fights for you, just as he promised you. (Joshua 23:10 ESV)
Battles
One of my favorite pictures in Scripture is when Gehazi, Elisha’s servant, has his eyes opened for a moment and was able to see the army of the Lord arrayed in Judea.
What we can not see is bigger and better than what we can see.
When we are discourage at the daunting tasks God has place before us, remember that He fights the battles we think we fight. That does not mean we will win every battle we fight, because sometimes we are not fighting the right battles. But we will win every fight HE is fighting.
Not because He is our mercenary, but because He has adopted us as His children.
God defends us, uplifts us, protects us, and has destroyed every enemy we can see, imagine, or are unaware of. Because He graciously fights for us.
What a blessing His battles are.
