He Fights Our Battles - 3/22/22

He Fights our Battles

Hey Family, if you didn't know, God works behind and in the scenes. He changes hearts, changes perspectives, removes obstacles, and gives us Spirit-filled wisdom and strength. He makes our battles, so that we mainly just have to show up and have faith that He will remain remain true to His word and promises. 

Today's Prayer

"Dear Heavenly Father, I must repent for time and time again of attempting to pry the sword and shield from Your great and mighty hands, in hopes to fight my own battles my own way. How foolish of me! You are the great and holy general, who sees the whole war from beginning to end. You are the great protector and provider who equips and guards us in ways that are abundantly and exceedingly more than we could ever ask or imagine! Lord, You are worthy of all the glory, honor, and praise! In Jesus Christ's name we pray, Amen."

Scripture

His Peace and Mighty is Assured

Judges 6:11‭-‬24

 "Now the angel of the Lord came and sat under the terebinth at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress to hide it from the Midianites. And the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, “The Lord is with you, O mighty man of valor.” And Gideon said to him, “Please, my Lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all his wonderful deeds that our fathers recounted to us, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has forsaken us and given us into the hand of Midian.” And the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian; do not I send you?” And he said to him, “Please, Lord, how can I save Israel? Behold, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.” And the Lord said to him, “But I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man.” And he said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, then show me a sign that it is you who speak with me. Please do not depart from here until I come to you and bring out my present and set it before you.” And he said, “I will stay till you return.” So Gideon went into his house and prepared a young goat and unleavened cakes from an ephah of flour. The meat he put in a basket, and the broth he put in a pot, and brought them to him under the terebinth and presented them. And the angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened cakes, and put them on this rock, and pour the broth over them.” And he did so. Then the angel of the Lord reached out the tip of the staff that was in his hand and touched the meat and the unleavened cakes. And fire sprang up from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened cakes. And the angel of the Lord vanished from his sight. Then Gideon perceived that he was the angel of the Lord. And Gideon said, “Alas, O Lord God! For now I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.” But the Lord said to him, “Peace be to you. Do not fear; you shall not die.” Then Gideon built an altar there to the Lord and called it, The Lord Is Peace. To this day it still stands at Ophrah, which belongs to the Abiezrites."
