CHOOSING FAITH OVER FEAR
In Deuteronomy chapter 20, Moses repeated God’s instruction to Israel as they prepared to go into battle against their enemies in the Promised Land. God instructed them not to focus on the power of the enemy, nor to be afraid of them. Instead, they were to focus on the Lord who was with them. For the Lord promised to fight for them and to save them.
Are you facing a battle today? Perhaps it’s a financial challenge that seems too big to overcome. Maybe it’s a health situation you’re facing or one of your loved ones is battling against. Or maybe it’s an unseen and unnamed enemy that seems to be lurking around the corner. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to face it alone.
For our God is the same today as He was yesterday. He still calls us to not be afraid of the enemy, but to trust in Him as Savior. God does not promise that there will not be battle in this life. There will always be trouble in this life, but we need not face it alone. God is with us.
PRAYER: Dear Father, thank You for Your promise to be with us and to fight for us. We choose faith over fear. We can face any enemy knowing that You are always with us and will never leave nor forsake us. In Jesus’ name, amen.
