God Will Fight for You

God Will Fight for You

"Do not be afraid of them. The LORD your God Himself will fight for you." (Deut. 3:22)

As I sat down to write, a song welled up in my heart: “God will work it out, God will work it out. One thing I know, one thing I’m sure of, is that God will work it out.”

I don’t know the battles you may be facing right now, but I know this: God will fight for you, and you will hold your peace. He has already gone ahead of you, and because of that, all things will work together for your good. It may not look like it now, and yes, the process may come with challenges and pain, but in the end, God will bring His perfect outcome.

Just as God assured Joshua that He would fight for him, He is saying the same to you today. But under the light of the New Testament, this truth shines even brighter: God has already fought for you through Christ. Now, you are not striving for victory—you are standing in victory. You are like an occupying army, enforcing the triumph Jesus has secured once and for all.

That’s why God says, “Do not be afraid.” Fear blinds us to the truth that we are already victorious. Paul reminds us of this reality:

"Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him who loved us." (Romans 8:37, AMP)

How do we live in this victory? Through Him who loves us. His love is the reason He fought the battle, and His love ensures that we now enjoy the victory. So don’t be afraid—your God has already fought for you.

Have a fruitful day,

Steady your heads

Steady your hands "But Moses' hands got tired. So they got a stone and set it under him. He sat on it and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on each side. So his hands remained steady until the sun went down.(Exod.17.12 MSG) Consistency and stability are two traits that we need to succeed in life. The Bible says those second guessing themselves will not receive anything from God.  "Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who "worry their prayers" are like wind-whipped waves."(Jas.1.6)  Our text illustrated this very clearly. Moses had an assignment to keep his hand raised. But as human, he became tired and his hand would come down and as that happened his people would lose the battle. So he devised a means to create consistency and stability, he rested his hands on a stone, with support from Aaron and Hur on either side supporting him.  We need this kind of support, the kind of systems an structures that will help to create stability in ...

Joshua Spoke, the People Moved

Joshua Spoke, the People Moved “And it happened. Joshua spoke, the people moved. Seven priests carrying seven ram’s-horn trumpets went out before the LORD. As they walked, they blew the trumpets, leading the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD.”  (Joshua 6:8) When Joshua gave the instruction, the people did not argue, analyze endlessly, or delay. He spoke—and they moved. That simple act of obedience set divine power in motion. History was shaped not merely by what was said, but by what was done. Actions give weight to knowledge. What we do with the truth we receive determines the outcomes we experience. Many of us know what is right, what God has said, and what steps we should take—but knowing alone does not transform a life. If we consistently acted on every truth we already knew, our lives would look very different. The real question, then, is not “What more do I need to hear?” but “What is stopping me from acting?” This text teaches us how to relate to God’s Word: Joshua spoke, ...

Birthright for sale

Birth rights for sale  "One day Jacob was cooking a stew. Esau came in from the field, starved. Esau said to Jacob, "Give me some of that red stew--I'm starved!" That's how he came to be called Edom (Red). Jacob said, "Make me a trade: my stew for your rights as the firstborn." Esau said, "I'm starving! What good is a birthright if I'm dead?" Jacob said, "First, swear to me." And he did it. On oath Esau traded away his rights as the firstborn." (Gen.25.29-33).  Life has taught us to trade what we have for what we want or need. And this is basic economics but the story of how Esau lost his birthright is a lesson we should not forget in a hurry. It tells us that we do not value what we have, until we have lose it.  Esau had his birthright and that entitles him to a double portion of the inheritance from his father. But he was willing to trade a long term advantage for a short pleasure. He wanted a quick fix over a permanen...
