I Will Fight Your Battles 

"Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's" (2 Chronicles 20:15). 

In a heavyweight boxing match, there are only two opponents fighting against each other. While the boxers are fighting, no one else is allowed in the ring. When the bell rings for the fighting to stop, trainers enter the ring to encourage the fighters, assess injuries, and provide strategy advice. When the bell rings for the fight to continue for the next round, everyone has to exit the ring again. When we are battling circumstances in our life we feel it’s our job to figure it all out and make things happen by taking advice from friends and family, and making some very important steps and decisions without consulting God. If we could do it, we wouldn't need a Savior and we all need Jesus no matter what circumstances we are in. We have to learn to step outside the ring and allow God to fight our battles. As long as we are in the ring, the fight cannot continue with an eventual end of victory. God has already told us the battle is not ours but His and He will not only fight the battle but take care of the circumstance along the way. God has already won the fight, so step outside of the ring and claim your victory! When Jesus died on the cross for our sins, "It was finished" (John 19:30). You may ask what was finished? Every negative situation in your life-homelessness, lack, loneliness, depression, sickness, and every empty space in your heart that only you and Jesus know about. There are no circumstances that were not overcome on the cross. Continue to seek Him and He will not let you fail even in the darkest hour. "Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. “The Egyptians ( the circumstances) you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you: you need only to be still" (Exodus 14:13-140). 

Lord God, give us a measure of faith that will help us to totally relay on You for every situation in our lives, knowing that You have given us victory over every situation. Thank you Lord for not leaving out one detail of our lives that You cannot overcome. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
