Good morning people of God. It's another beautiful day the Lord has made and we will continue to rejoice and be glad in it.
Our Bible reading for today is from Deuteronomy 20:1-end and the memory verse is from Deuteronomy 20:4 "for the Lord your God is He that goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you victory."
Growing up, my younger sister was tougher and had stamina more than myself so any time someone offends me and I tell her, she will confront the person and ensure the person never crossed my path again. Then woe betide you that you lay a finger on me, she will fight you like a wounded lion. Then between me and her, she loves to take what belongs to me without asking for permission but she will never tolerate another person trying that with me if not the person will face her wrath.
My relationship with my sister for me comes very close the relationship God has designed to have with man. The Bible passage we read today started with God warning the Israelites that at any point they go out to war against their enemies, when they see horses and chariots and an army larger than theirs they should not be afraid for the Lord their God who brought them out of Egypt is with them. This means that the things they are to see at war front is arranged to instill fear in them and if that happens, it will be easy to conquer them.
One would ask what is fear? Why fear? Fear from a dictionary definition means a painful emotion or passion excited by the expectation of evil or the apprehension of impending danger. This definition clearly states that fear is pain aggravated by an expectation of evil.
Now, the things arranged by an enemy to instill fear are always things that suggest danger and the devil is an expert of instilling fear. Today God is saying to someone reading this post that your problem is not what you see that poses to be a threat to your life or your job or your marriage but who is with you in this fight. The memory verse goes further to declare that it is the Lord your God that is to be with you, He is the one who will fight your enemies and give you victory.
Therefore to conquer fear all we need is God. We all have our fears in different areas of our lives and these fears depending on how we handle it can make or mar us, unfortunately the devil is the expert at using fear to bring one down.
I therefore ask you today; who is with you in this battle of life? The person with you determines if you will be victorious or fail.
Till I come your way again, remain blessed.
