Who’s Fighting? You Or Jesus??? A Word from THE WORD!!! #327

“And he said, Hearken ye,

all Judah,

and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem,

and thou king Jehoshaphat,

Thus saith the LORD unto you,

Be not afraid nor dismayed

by reason of this great multitude;

for the battle is not yours,

but God’s.

16 To morrow go ye down against them:

behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz;

and ye shall find them at the end of the brook,

before the wilderness of Jeruel.

17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle:

set yourselves,

stand ye still,

and see the salvation of the LORD with you,

O Judah and Jerusalem:

fear not,

nor be dismayed;

to morrow go out against them:

for the LORD will be with you.

18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head

with his face to the ground:

and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem

fell before the LORD,

worshipping the LORD.”  2 Chronicles 15-18

While we live in wicked and difficult days, we must remember “Who” is in charge!  It’s not the government, the political powers, the weather forecasters, or even the leaders amongst us—”the battle is not yours, but God’s”!  What battle or battles are you fretting over?  So many are looking for love, happiness, the perfect job, the perfect mate, children—yet all these things fit in that category of “the battle is not yours, but God’s”!  When will we realize that is the message that Jesus Himself was giving us in the model prayer when He spoke such truth!

“After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done

in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil:

For thine is

the kingdom,

and the power,

and the glory,

for ever. Amen.”  Matthew 6:9-13

Oh, how we get so frustrated trying to “fix it” in every area of our lives and for those around us!  God calls us to remember that HE is sovereign and in control—He is still on the throne, and it IS HIS battle, our job is to stop—look—and listen to the directing work of His Holy Spirit within us!  We must stop trying to “run” the show!  And believe me, I’m as guilty as anyone, and I so often have to confess, repent and seek God’s work of restoration to be the truly humble servant of The King that I desire to be.  How about you?

We are so like Israel when they were caught between the Red Sea and Pharoah’s army!  And just like us, they saw no way out, BUT GOD! “Thy kingdom come…. Thy will be done”!

“And Moses said unto the people,

Fear ye not,

stand still,

and see the salvation of the LORD,

which he will shew to you to day:

for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day,

ye shall see them again no more forever.

14 The LORD shall fight for you,

and ye shall hold your peace.”  Exodus 14:13-14

Maybe one of the hardest things in my life is to truly obey God and “hold your peace”!  But God, I have the answer; I have the solution; I have a way; I know more than anyone else!  Ouch!  Do you wrestle with the same things that I do?  Oh, to bow before our God and King, and learn to stand still and hold my peace. You know that “peace” (piece) of advice you have to share; that wisdom that you have that no one else has; that brilliant plan that everyone needs to consider!  NOT!  Oh, to learn to walk in humble faith in my God and King—my redeemer—who gave Himself for me!

One of my husband’s and my favorite verses says it all.

“Be still,

and know that I am God:

I will be exalted among the heathen,

I will be exalted in the earth.

11 The LORD of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.”   Psalm 46:10-11

May we truly learn to stop fighting the battles alone—may we “Be still”!  Oh such a simple thing, but so hard to do in a world that is constantly calling us to act, buy, pursue, walk, run—to the worldly solutions.  In closing the thing we need to remind ourselves of often—the world lies!  God never does.

“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man,

but the end thereof are the ways of death.”  Proverbs 14:12

It’s your choice, but choose wisely, there is a test!

Amen and Amen!!!

Bible Ballistics: BBs #784    God Hasn’t Moved!!!

 

I would like to share a word of encouragement with you today; I can’t explain the joy in my heart this morning apart from “the joy of the Lord IS my strength”!  I know the world is going crazy, times are trying, prices are rising like a speeding train, and masks, disease, and fear are the pervading mindset of so many, but my friends “the Lord God omnipotent reigneth”!!!  God has not left the throne!  God has not abdicated to the enemy, the world or time!  As an old hymn by William M. Ramsey says, “There Is A Deep Settled Peace In My Soul”—in my heart and overflowing in such peace that I haven’t felt in a long time.  God’s presence is with me, and HE will be with you if you will but “stop, look, and listen” to the Lord Jesus, who gave Himself for YOU and me!

I would like to share a few passages of scripture that I hope will lift your heart if you’re down, encourage you if you’re confused, tired, weary, wondering or just slap worn out.  God knows, HE cares, the answers are found in HIM, His voice and Spirit who dwells within His own; and I pray that He will speak to each of us today through HIS Word!

“For thou hast been a strength

to the poor,

a strength

to the needy in his distress,

a refuge

from the storm,

 a shadow

from the heat,

when the blast of the terrible ones

is as a storm against the wall.”  Isaiah 25:4

Jesus promised that HE will ever be with His own, and I pray that you know HIM, and have the power and peace of the born again!  If not, you can call upon Him today—right now if you please.

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:

if any man hear my voice,

and open the door,

I will come in to him,

and will sup with him,

and he with me.

21 To him that overcometh

will I grant to sit with me

 in my throne,

even as I also overcame,

and am set down with my Father

in his throne.”   Revelation 3:20-21

And how did Jesus overcome?  Well, it’s more like, ‘where’ did Jesus overcome?  HE overcame at the cross and that is the only place where we will find overcoming power for every trial, grief, sorrow, victory, and the power of God’s Holy Spirit working in us!  Praise God from whom all blessings do abundantly flow!  Amen!

“My sheep hear my voice,

and I know them,

and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life;

and they shall never perish,

neither shall any man pluck them

out of my hand.

29 My Father,

which gave them me,

is greater than all;

and no man is able to pluck them

out of my Father’s hand.

30 I and my Father are one.”  John 10:27-30

HE’s got you and me!  Let’s grow and learn to rest in Jesus and His perfect will, plan, and way for each of us.  Now, I’d simply like to leave you with a few scriptures to ponder and take hope in.  Remember, our GOD reigns—still—and forever!  And as the old song asks, “if that isn’t love”, then my friend you will never know love or truth!

“The LORD is good,

a strong hold in the day of trouble;

and he knoweth them

that trust in him.”  Nahum 1:7

“He that dwelleth in the secret place

of the most High

 shall abide under the shadow

of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD,

He is my refuge

and my fortress:

my God;

in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee

from the snare of the fowler,

and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers,

and under his wings shalt thou trust:

his truth shall be thy shield

and buckler.”  Psalm 91:1-4

May God’s peace rule in your heart today and always!

“My help

cometh from the LORD,

which made heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:

he that keepeth thee

will not slumber.”  Psalm 121:3-4.

Amen and Amen!!!
