God fights for you

Don’t be afraid of them, for the Lord your God fights for you. (Deuteronomy 3:22)

“The Lord your God fights for you.”

Somehow those words just rung in my heart this morning.

When the Enemy is against, us, God doesn’t just stand by. He fights for us.

When trials and hardship come, God is not blissfully unaware. He fights for us.

But he also calls us to do the same for each other.

We may be at a place of rest like the Reubenites, Gadites, and people of Manasseh. But when our brothers and sisters in Christ are struggling, we can’t just say it’s none of our affair. We need to stand by them and fight for them like our God does. We need to show them the love God has shown us. That’s what it means to stand together with our shield of faith. (Ephesians 6:16)

So in our struggles, let’s stand together and fight, with the confidence that God is fighting for us too.
