Scripture:
“And he shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel: Today you are on the verge of battle with your enemies. Do not let your heart faint, do not be afraid, and do not tremble or be terrified because of them; for the LORD your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’”
Deuteronomy 20:3-4 NKJV
Observation:
In the passage, the LORD is speaking about when His people go into battle with other nations and peoples. He told them to not let their hearts faint or tremble because of their enemies because the LORD will go with them and fight for them against their enemies so He can save His people. When there are battles to fight, the LORD will fight them.
Application:
The people of Israel had to go into battle and face their enemies, but the LORD was with them and truly fought their battles for them. Their job was to not be afraid or terrified, His job was to fight on their behalf. It is difficult to trust God when you see your enemy and know they are more powerful than you. Sometimes it is easier to run than to fight. As God’s children, we can’t run away, but must face our enemies and fight, then trust the LORD to deliver us.
Prayer:
LORD God, help me to trust You in this area. Help me to never fear what the enemy can do to me, but to fear You and You alone. You are my strength and my salvation. You are my victory. Enable me to trust You more and more. Rise up and defeat this Coronavirus. Demonstrate Your power oh God.
Your Son,
Jeff
