You need not fight in this battle; station yourselves, stand and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf..." 2 Chronicles 20:17
In the worldly mind, it seems impossible for the Lord to fight our battles for us. In fact, the world tells us, "Fight your own battles!" However, reading today's Scripture through the eyes of faith, it is an exhilerating thought! Imagine...Jesus fighting our battles FOR us...And it's true...he sometimes does--more than we know!!!
This Scripture tells us to basically stand down and watch, as the Lord fights our battles for us on our behalf. Personally, I can think of many times when Jesus has come to my aid and fought battles for me. How do you know when He is fighting for you? Well, when against all odds, good things happen! The brain tumor that disappeared without treatment. The car accident that was averted. The Scripture that comes to you right when you need it most. The high-risk baby born without medical condition or mishap. Healings of every kind, in body, mind and spirit.
Sounds like it's time to pray for discernment as to what battles belong to us, and which ones belong to the Lord. 'Coincidence' is often how people explain away God's work here on earth. Time to do our part, then get out of the way and start giving credit where credit is due...
"The Lord will fight for you while you keep silent.” Exodus 14:14
