God Will Fight For You

Devotional Reading: Do not be afraid of the nations there, for the Lord your God will fight for you.’ Deuteronomy 3:22 NLT

Life is full of “battles.” However, considering our text, Moses’ final words to the people of Israel, “Do not be afraid….for the Lord your God will fight for you,” still ring true today.

Most of the victories the Israelites experienced were due to God’s power that was with them. Although they were often outnumbered or lacked weapons and strategy, they defeated their enemies because they listened, obeyed, and allowed God to have complete control of the situation.

Therefore be encouraged. No matter what we are facing, if we want to overcome difficult situations or adversity, we must not try to do it alone. We must find our confidence in God’s strength; He already knows what’s ahead of you. The challenges will be real, but there is no enemy or situation too big or too strong for the Lord.

What adversity are you facing right now? Let God’s strength be your strength. You may be outnumbered or lacking in strength – but God is not!

Prayer and Confession
When my heart and my flesh fails me, when I am overwhelmed with life’s challenges, be the strength of my heart. Amen.
