 Subject: Not on YouSCRIPTURE: The spirit of the Lord came upon a Levite who was present in the crowd. His name was Jahaziel. Jahaziel said, "Your Majesty and all you people of Judah and Jerusalem, the Lord says that you must not be discouraged or be afraid to face this large army. The battle depends on God, not on you. 2 Chron. 20:14a & 15 (Good News Translation) OBSERVATION: Disciples trust God in everything, even to fight our battles. We are to praise Him with all our hearts, minds, souls and strength, as the people of Judah did. God will bring victory every time, if we let Him fight for us. It may not be the victory we want, but it will be the victory that He wants, and it will be what it must for His glory and His Kingdom. We are to also do whatever He tells us to do. When we are faithful and true, He always comes through. APPLICATION: I am always tempted to rush into battle, but my training and God's WORD reminds me to trust Him to fight for me and His church. PRAYER: O Lord, I surrender all of my battles to You to fight for me and bring VICTORY! Amen! |
