“Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall by the sword before you.”
Leviticus 26:8 NKJV
Observation:
At the beginning of this portion of scripture it says that if God’s children obey Him and His word there would be many blessings that would come upon them. The above verse was one of those blessings. God promises that those who are walking in obedience to Him would be protected by Him. He says that He will empower His people so that five chase a hundred and a hundred put ten thousand to flight. He finishes by saying that our enemies will fall by the sword in front of us.
Application:
When we are truly serving the Lord and doing His will, He has the ability to take care of us. When God is for us, who can be against us? God promises here that when we walk in obedience to Him, He will take care of our enemies and we will have great victory over them. This is a promise from the Lord. Our job is to follow Him completely, His job is to defeat our enemies. We are promised incredible victory when we follow the Lord’s ways.
Prayer:
Father, thank You for taking care of Your children. You are faithful and powerful. There is nobody like You. Help me to follow You completely and to walk according to Your ways. Let my family see Your victory. Let my church see Your victory. Let those around me see Your victory. Defeat every enemy assigned against me, my family and Your Church.
Yours,
Jeff
