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!
