God Will Fight Our Battles – by Lynn Gipson
“You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you.”—2 Chronicles 20:17 (NIV)
Sometimes, we have to just be still and let God fight our battles, for we are without power in some situations. We place our solemn trust in the Lord and let Him take the reins.
Of course, God expects us to do our part. But there are times when we don’t know what to do in certain circumstances. That is when we listen for His instructions and follow His lead.
I find myself in that position now. A family issue has come up regarding some legal matters, and I am powerless. This is the time I drop to my knees in prayer and leave the outcome to God. He will protect me just as He has done all of my life, and I know whatever happens, it is His will for me.
I will take up my position, for in my heart I know it is just and right. This is a battle I do not have to fight.
I stand in peace.
Dear Lord, I find myself powerless. I will stand firm in peace and wait for your answer. I will face tomorrow with you defending me.
