Hope-Filled Sunday!
Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week.
Let God fight your battles.
It’s quite likely you’ve heard this phrase at least once in your life. But, do you actually listen? Do you truly believe that God will fight your battles for you? Click To Tweet
All too often, we try to fight our battles on our own. (Or at least I do! Please tell me I’m not alone.) And sometimes, we’re successful. But more often than not, our battles are much larger than we could ever possibly fight alone. And the wonderful news is that God doesn’t expect us to!
God wants to fight for us … if we let Him do so. Our role is to turn things over to Him, trust Him, and listen to Him for our next steps.
Challenges totally beyond my control lately have made it all too clear to me that I am not as successful at following 2 Chronicles 20:17 as I’d like to think I am. Perhaps that has happened to you, as well. Trying to forge ahead alone only creates more stress, exhaustion, pain, fear… You name it.
God wants us to enjoy our lives and be at peace while He does what only He can do. So why do we fight it? It’s time to let go.
Whenever you find yourself struggling to release your grip on a God-sized situation, remind yourself that God is already fighting the battle. Remember today’s verse. Then jot down some times where God helped you with a problem you didn’t think was possible to overcome. And let those victories encourage you to trust Him with your current situation.
Lord, I admit that I cannot solve my problems on my own, but I trust that You can. Amen.
