Deuteronomy Chps 19-20
As Moses continues to give instructions to the Israelites in the ways of the Lord as they prepare to enter the promised land, he reminds the Israelites of the protection provided by the Lord in ALL things.
1 When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours, do not be afraid of them, because the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt, will be with you. 2 When you are about to go into battle, the priest shall come forward and address the army. 3 He shall say: "Hear, O Israel, today you are going into battle against your enemies. Do not be fainthearted or afraid; do not be terrified or give way to panic before them. 4 For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory." (Deu 20: 1-4)
Can war and battle not apply to many aspects of today's life? While I may not fight physical wars or battles, I fight emotional battles all day long and Satan is fighting for my heart and soul. I definitely seek God's protection.
My Prayer: Lord, I know you protect me from Satan and all he is doing to win my heart and soul. But I can feel your strength and it is awesome and mighty. Thank you for your protection. Forgive me for my sin - especially my neglect of quiet time with you. Help me desire you more and be more like you Jesus.
