When faced with life’s battles, it is good to know that you are not alone. What battle are you fighting currently? Is it one of unemployment, loneliness, debt, discouragement, family discord, discrimination, etc.?
Remember that the enemy will always come in the midst of the battle to try to defeat you. We saw this when the peaceful protestors were infiltrated by riots that tried to defeat their purpose. (Protesting and rioting are very different.) When this happens in the midst of your battle, remember that Jehovah Sabaoth is with you. He is the same God seen in these verses:
Joshua 10:42 states, “Joshua conquered all these kings and their land in a single campaign, for the LORD, the God of Israel, was fighting for his people.”
Also, Jeremiah 1:19 states, “They will fight against you, but they will not overcome you, for I am with you to deliver you,” declares the Lord.”
Stay strong, no matter what your battle may be at this time, knowing that ultimately it is the Lord who is able to defeat all your enemies and provide victory. Then you can declare what is recorded in 2 Timothy 4:7, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.”
Remember that you do not have to fight your battles alone. Here are the words of Yolanda Adams’ song to inspire you.
The Battle Is the Lord’s
There is no pain Jesus can’t feel
No hurt He cannot heal
For all things work according to His perfect will
No matter what you’re going through
Remember God is using You
For the battle is not yours, it’s the Lord’s
There’s no sadness Jesus can’t feel
And there is no sorrow that He cannot heal
For all things work according to the Master’s holy will
No matter what you’re going through
Remember that God is only using You
For this battle is not yours, it’s the Lord’s
It’s the Lord’s, yes, it’s the Lord’s
Hold your head up high don’t you cry
It’s the Lord’s, it’s the Lord’s
Yes, it’s the Lord’s
No matter what you’re going through
Remember that God only wants to use you
No matter what you happen to go through right now
Remember that in the midst of it all God only wants to use you
No matter what it is that you’re going through
Hold your head up, stick your chest out
And remember He’s using you
For this battle is not yours alone
This battle is not yours, no
You cannot handle it all by yourself
No, no, no, no, no, no
This battle is not yours
The Lord is the only one who can fight it
He wants to use you as His vessel
So be open to Him
The battle is not yours
It’s the Lord’s
