Not My Fight
2 Chronicles 20:15 “Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.”
Like you, I am a man of action. When a challenge comes my way I immediately start to form a plan of attack. I get excited about strategy and I am not afraid of hard work. Now all of these things are good but there is a weakness in this mindset. Sometimes, I become overwhelmed because I pick up challenges that are not my fight.
In 2 Chronicles 20, the King of Judah, Jehoshaphat was overwhelmed by the challenge before him. The armies of Moab and Ammon were a threat and there was no earthly solution for this problem. He was stuck. But in this moment God reminded Jehoshaphat of His faithfulness and strength. He told him the battle was not his.
Are you facing a challenge today? At times we can be overwhelmed by the work on our desk or the problems at home. Sometimes God allows us to be in these situations so He can display His strength and faithfulness. From time to time we can pick up challenges that are not our fight. Maybe you have one of these on your plate today. Take some time this weekend to delegate some of your challenges to God and let Him take care of the battles that are not ours.
God Bless,
Mike
