A
reminder for today
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. (2 Chronicles 32:8)
I guess just as there were battles in the old kingdoms,
we have battles in the kingdom of God that happens every day. King Sennacherib
of Assyria invaded Judah and he had a very large army that has conquered many
other nations. So obviously the people were afraid and intimidated by the
accomplishments of this army that now invaded their own land. Hezekiah knew
that the battle lies in God’s hands and that God will surely save His people
and deliver them from the hands of the Assyrian army - We have the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles for us!
Now in the kingdom of God we run into challenges or
circumstances that is just overwhelming and we would stare ourselves blind at
this huge problem and not look for God to help overcome this mountain that lies
ahead. Now I have written to you so often about challenges and problems and
facing difficult circumstances. But did you know that the result of your
victory over difficult issues can in turn encourage other. The way we deal with
issues in our lives can show other how we trust God and allow God to fight this
battle for us and this can open the eyes of other and show them that even in
impossible odds we still faithfully trust God.
My dear friend, our sole purpose is to glorify the name
of the Lord and when we stand in the midst of a storm and we still set our eyes
and faith on Him to deliver us. Our successes will bring glory to God and
ultimately change people. You see change starts with you. Why should we wait
and see what someone else does when we can set the pace and start to make a
difference. The enemy may have a huge army and they may seem to outnumber us as every corner, but in all their might there is no one and nothing that is even
remotely as powerful as the God that we follow. Our King is the creator of
heaven and earth, there is no other like Him. Why should we fear mere mortals
or worldly problems when God can take it away in an instant?
Come my friend and let us encourage other with the way we
live and the way we follow our Lord and king so that they will long for the
same relationship with the Lord and in that, they will defeat the enemy at every corner.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
