Jesus is fighting your battles

"When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the Lord your God is with you, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. - Deuteronomy 20:1

The bible tells us that the Lord will NEVER leave nor forsake us. He is there when we are going through our valleys and He is there with us when we are at our mountain tops. The word says: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. - Psalm 23:4

After Abraham had defeated four kings who had captured his nephew, he was afraid the four kings would come back to take revenge and take back whatever belonged to them and much more. Yet the word of the Lord came to Abraham to assure him that He is his shield and exceedingly great reward.

When Moses was leading the children of Israel to cross the Red Sea with the Egyptian army in hot pursuit, the good Lord was with them and He opened the Red Sea for the children of Israel to cross and yet caused the Red Sea to drown the whole of the Egyptian army! And when Joshua was leading to children of Israel to conquer the city of Jericho, the Lord just commanded Joshua and his army to shout at the wall of Jericho and the wall of Jericho just collapsed in front of them.

In our daily living, the good Lord is with us all the way, all the times. We may not have felt His presence but rest assured He is there where we are. He is fighting our every battle even though when things seem impossible to overcome. He is there to comfort us even when we think He is miles away. He is right there where we are even though we may be numb to His whisper.

We are the beloveds of the Lord, Jesus Christ. We have a great and mighty savior who willingly die for us at the cross! Because of His great love for us, He is willing and more than capable to handle our every care and concern. We just have to cast them upon the very feet of our lovely Lord and rest in His finihsed work at the cross. For He will complete His work in us for He loves and cares for us.

In spite of what we are going through; be it fighting the dreaded disease that the doctors have no answer for or be it dealing with a mountain of debt that we have no resources to clear or be it a broken relationship which we wish it is mended but isn't or be it simply a question of where to send your children for their continuing education, the good Lord is the Answer and is working behind the scene to turn all things for our good.

Rest in His great love for us and watch how the Lord fights our every battle. Hallelujah!

I have an awesome God

For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above all gods. - 1 Chronicles 

16:25

God is an awesome God!

He first called forth light and light is still going forth to places beyond our wildest imagination. This light is not the natural sun light that most of us are familiar with for this "Light" is Jesus Himself. Jesus is there in the beginning and in all things He exists and all things exist for Him. All things were made for Him!

Isn't it interesting that God made man on the sixth day after He had created all other things and living creatures for man to have dominion over. If God had created man on the very first day, man would be living in complete darkness. He would have no natural light to see. He would have no land to stand upon. He would have no food to eat as well! Now that would have been a terrible thought.

Yet God made man on the sixth day so that man can enjoy all that God has created. Man was made to enjoy all that God has for him. He is to rest in God and just bask in God's great love. Man is called to have dominion over all created things and to live a long good life without death. He is called to be fruitful and "to bring joy" to God for God has great joy when He sees His wonderfully and awesomely made man enjoying all that He has for him.

Yet man sinned against God by partaking of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. With that single rebellious act against God, man has surrendered his authority on earth to the accuser, satan himself. 

Praised God this act of man didn't catch Him by surprise. He knows man would sin against Him yet He made man with a free will and He doesn't overrule that free will of man even though He has every power to do so. He will not take away that free will for He is a righteous God! God respects man's decisions, even his choice to sin against God.

God has a redemptive plan in place long before man would sin against God. He so loved the world that He IS willing to send His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us at the cross. He will take back the authority that Adam has lost righteously through Christ Jesus, our Lord and great Redeemer.

He sent His Son to redeem all mankind and yet man still, on his own free choice, choose to sin against God. God didn't see how man rebel against Him but only sees the perfection of the redemptive work of His Son, Jesus Christ, at the cross. He sees the precious blood of Jesus being shed at the cross for the sins of man. He sees the sinless body of Jesus being broken for our wholeness. He sees the shalom peace of Jesus being bequeathed to His creations which are made in the perfect image of Him! Hallelujah!

God no longer remembers our sins and our transgressions against Him for all the punishment has been bore by Jesus at the cross. And His single perfect obedience at the cross redeems us from eternal damnation forever! Prase God for He is awesome to be prasied. Hallelujah!
