Winning Life's Battles

God is on Your Side
"The Lord will fight for you." Exodus 14:14

I read these words and draw in a deep breath.
I need them right now.
Don't we all? Oh, we may not go to war.
But we fight...
for relationships
for dreams

We battle...
against illness
against discouragement

I think of you staring at the screen, perhaps feeling your strength is small.
Oh, yes, I know what that's like.
But victory isn't up to us.
And those words you sometimes hear?
"You're not worth fighting for."
They're a lie. Nothing more.
This is the truth from the heart of One who calls you His own:
You are loved.
You are worth fighting for.
You are even worth dying for.
So go into your day, strong friend, knowing that nothing can defeat you.
You've already won.

Thank You, Lord, for all the wonderful things You have done for me in the past, that You are doing for me today, and that You will do for me in the future. Keep me from fear and discouragement as I look at the challenges ahead. Thank You that you go before me with a plan for battle. I look to You for guidance so I may possess all You have for me. Amen.

Hope you are having a great Tuesday.
Blessings,
