“…….Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s……” – 2 Chronicles 20:15b

This is a promise from God that we can hold on to when going through a difficult time or circumstance that seems to be out of our control. There are just some battles that we simply cannot fight ourselves nor should we be fighting them in our own strength. Sometimes God will direct us to take a certain position, stand still and watch Him move and bring is the victory. But there are also times that we need to take a step back and let God fight for us.

There is nothing for us to fear what comes against us. We must learn to stand firm in our faith, as hard as that may be sometimes.

God knows the whole situation. In fact, He knows the situation better than we do! Even though we feel overwhelmed when we look at our circumstances, the Lord sees the whole picture and sees the way out. We need to let God have control of all things and allow Him to fight the battle we’re facing. Has He not promised that He will be with us until the end?

Whatever battle you are facing today, let me encourage you to give it to God and watch Him fight on your behalf. He knows what’s best and what we need in our lives and He’ll make a way when there seems to be no way!

Isaiah 43:2 has always brought comfort and encouragement to me, “When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Isaiah 43:2
