It is God Who Fights for You

Scripture:

“One man of you shall chase a thousand, for the LORD your God is He who fights for you, as He promised you. Therefore take careful heed to yourselves, that you love the LORD your God.”
‭‭Joshua‬ ‭23:10-11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Observation:

Joshua was ready to pass away after leading God’s people into their Promised Land.  He was giving them their last instructions and telling them to continue to follow the Lord if they wanted to be blessed.  He goes on to tell them that one of them would chase a thousand because it was the LORD who fought for them.  He had personally witnessed how God fought for His children over and over again.  He then told them to be careful to love the LORD your God.

Application:

God still works miraculously on behalf of His people.  He puts our enemies back and fights our battles when we live as He commanded.  Our job is to heed His words and love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.  When we do our part, He does His part.  Our job is to love and serve Him.  His part is to wipe out our enemies from before us.

Prayer:

Thank You LORD for fighting my battles and defeating my enemies.  You are incredible!  Thank you for the cross and on their resurrection Sunday, than you for the resurrection of Jesus.  Help me to live more like Joshua and Caleb each day.  My focus is on You.  Therefore, fight my battles and defend my life.  Let me live in the power of the resurrection.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
