Don't Be Afraid

Scripture:

Numbers 21:24 "The Lord said to Moses, 'Do not be afraid of him, for I have handed him over to you, along with all his people and his land.  Do the same to him as you did to King Sihon of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon.'"

Observation:

As the people of Israel were traveling through different areas under Moses, they came upon people who would attack them, thinking they were nobody nomads.  God showed up in power and routed their enemies.  The Lord spoke to Moses and told him not to be afraid because He had already handed him over to Moses. 

Application:

Sometimes we just need to realize that God is powerful and he is on our side.  He can defeat any enemy and win every battle.  He can take a group of nomad slaves and have them defeat strong enemy armies.  Nothing is impossible for Him.  We need to walk in confidence, knowing God has already fought our battles.

Prayer:

Father, increase my faith.  Help me to realize You are the all-powerful one and that You will take care of every situation in my life.  You are amazing and Your power is limitless.  Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and You deserve the praise.  Let me see things how You see them.

Your Servant,
Jeff
