You must not fear them, for the Lord your God Himself fights for you. Deuteronomy 3:22

In the news, Russia has started testing their nuclear weapons, China continues to build its military and vessel fleet, and other countries are trying to develop nuclear weapons. All of these actions are signs of strength and intimidation against their enemies in hopes they won’t attack. But the truth is, if we enter into a nuclear war, no one will win, everyone will be wiped off the face of the planet.

 You might be fighting a battle that doesn’t require nuclear weapons or a large army. Trouble with a fellow co-worker, neighbor, family member, or situation that appears to be beyond your control are issues that weigh you down and defeat you emotionally, physically, and spiritually. God doesn’t want HIs children to be or feel defeated, because we are not defeated, but already victorious.

 As the Israelites moved toward their “promised land”, they faced large people and strong armies who were ready to defend the land they occupied. But God had different plans and that was for His people to have a land flowing with milk and honey, a prosperous land that was suitable for living and thriving. God took care of their battles and they occupied that land promised to them.  

 And the Lord, He is he One who goes before you, He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed. Deuteronomy 31:8

 The Lord promises to be with you through this life and help you in times of trouble. Your enemy might appear big, even have weapons of intimidation, but they are nothing compared to the resources available to God to use on your behalf when you call out to Him for help. Let God fight your battles today and every day! God bless!
