Battles

Fear hits us from all angles. We desire to make a difference and fear living a life that doesn’t count. We need control and fear surrendering to God. We fear insignificance and uncertainty. The fear of failure drives us to make rash decisions or causes us to fear deciding at all. And then there is the final enemy—we fear dying. We battle fear, but things change when we realize the battle is too big for us. We are surrounded, outnumbered, outgunned. The battle against fear will be won, at the end of the day, by coming to grips with this truth: The battle belongs to the Lord. That’s what King David learned early in his life.

Jesus, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, is seen as one who battles on behalf of his people. He defeated the last enemy, death itself!

When God is out of the picture, we lose direction and focus. Our thoughts and emotions are easily distracted by our circumstances.

The arm of flesh versus the hand of God. Be confident. God will have His way every time!
