The Battle is not Yours but God’s

 

Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged..., for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
2 Chronicles‬ ‭20:15‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The verse  is a powerful reminder that we can trust God to fight for us in the midst of our struggles. This verse was spoken to King Jehoshaphat of Judah when he was facing a vast army that threatened to destroy his kingdom. Jehoshaphat was afraid, but he turned to God in prayer and asked for His help.

God responded to Jehoshaphat's prayer by telling him not to be afraid or discouraged, because the battle was not his, but God's. God then gave Jehoshaphat specific instructions on how to defeat the enemy army. Jehoshaphat followed God's instructions, and the enemy army was defeated without a single casualty among the Israelites.

This story teaches us that we can trust God to fight for us in our battles, no matter how difficult they may seem. When we are facing challenges in our lives, we don't need to be afraid or discouraged. We can simply turn to God in prayer and ask for His help. God is our mighty warrior, and He will fight for us and give us victory.

Here are some ways to apply this verse to our lives today:

• When we are facing a difficult challenge, we can remind ourselves that the battle is not ours, but God's. This can help us to let go of our fear and anxiety and to trust in God's power and goodness.

• We can pray to God and ask Him to fight for us in our battles. We can also ask Him for wisdom and guidance on how to handle the situation.

• We can trust that God has a good plan for our lives, even in the midst of our struggles. We can be confident that He will work all things together for our good (Romans 8:28).

Here are some examples of how people have applied this verse to their lives:

• A woman who was diagnosed with cancer prayed to God and asked Him to fight for her. She trusted in God's healing power, and she went into remission.

• A man who was facing financial ruin prayed to God and asked Him for help. He trusted in God's provision, and he was able to find a new job and pay off his debts.

• A couple who was struggling in their marriage prayed to God and asked Him to help them. They trusted in God's wisdom and guidance, and their relationship was healed.

No matter what kind of battle you are facing today, you can be confident that God is with you and that He will fight for you. Trust in His power and goodness, and He will give you victory.

In summary:

The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences. Proverbs 18:21‭ NLT The tongue is a powerful tool. It can be used to build up or tear down, to encourage or discourage, to heal or harm. The Bible says that the tongue "can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences" (Proverbs 18:21). Our words have the power to affect others in a profound way. They can make someone feel loved and appreciated, or they can make them feel hurt and rejected. They can build someone up or tear them down. They can be used to spread gossip and lies, or they can be used to speak truth and love. The way we use our words is a reflection of our character. If we are quick to speak harsh words, it shows that we are not kind or compassionate. If we are constantly gossiping and spreading rumors, it shows that we are untrustworthy and manipulative. But if we are careful about what we say and use our words to build up others, it shows that we
