God Fights for You

Joshua 23-24; Psalms 44; 1 Corinthians 11 

“’The Lord has driven out before you great and powerful nations; to this day no one has been able to withstand you. One of you routs a thousand, because the Lord your God fights for you, just as he promised. So be very careful to love the Lord your God…I sent the hornet ahead of you, which drove them out before you – also the two Amorite kings. You did not do it with your own sword and bow.”

Joshua 23:9-11; 24:12

God’s deliverance and salvation of Israel continued into their possession of the Promised Land. One of the Israelites routed a thousand because God fought for them.

Do we still believe the Lord fights our battles for us today?

God has delivered and saved us from the bondage of sin and made us his very own; are we still trying to fight our own battles in ministry, work, and everyday life?

God will strengthen and go before those whose hearts are fully committed to him.

Are we continuing to fight battles that the Lord is inviting us to surrender to him?

“Lord Jesus, you are my commander-in-chief, Savior, and leader. I surrender all to you, for your glory.”
