GOD IS FIGHTING OUR BATTLES

2 Chronicles 32:7-8 NLT  “Be strong and courageous! Don’t be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria or his mighty army, for there is a power far greater on our side! He may have a great army, but they are merely men. We have the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles for us!” Hezekiah’s words greatly encouraged the people.

We all have battles of one kind or another. Some are bigger than others but whatever size they are God doesn’t want us to fight them on our own! He goes as far as to say we can be strong and courageous even when we’re not very brave in our own selves, because we have the Greater One inside us to call on.

The Holy Spirit is with us around the clock and He reminds us that God is our strong tower, God is helping us and fighting our battles, and God is for us not against us! The trouble is we tend to forget!

So what battles are you fighting today? Are you battling fear or lack of finances, battling health issues or family troubles? Maybe you’re battling with doubts? Whatever it is, God wants us to know we don’t have to face those battles in our own strength because we have the Creator of the universe living on the inside of us and He does the impossible, He brings our enemies to their knees and wipes them out, He delivers us and sets us on high.

If we focus on the battle, on our enemy, we become discouraged because we know in ourselves we can’t win, but when we focus on who our God is and how He is helping us fight our battles the whole ball game changes! We are on the winning side, we are coming from a place of victory, so we’re going out to win! That’s the mindset God wants us to have.😊

Let’s be like King Hezekiah who encouraged his people, and encourage one another to remember we have the Holy Spirit, who raised Jesus from the dead, living inside us! Remember He is our Helper, our Counsellor, our Comforter, our Standby. We’re not alone in it all, we have a Champion on our side and His name is Jesus and He always wins! Praise His name. Amen.😊
