This morning before I even got out of bed, which I didn't feel like doing, a thought went through my mind, "this is bigger than me."
You can fill the "this" with your own words. What is it today that feels too big for you? What is out of your realm of control?
There was something freeing about realizing I had to surrender to God. There was something comforting about knowing that I could and that God welcomed my battle.
He is a protector. He does command His angels concerning us. He does deal with those people, places and things that are "too big."
Just because you may not see victory with your human eyes, doesn't mean that the Lord isn't on the move on your behalf, in a myriad of ways! "For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory." (Deuteronomy 20:4) "... if God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31) Paul goes on to say that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, not trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger of the sword! Basically, there is NOTHING - not angels or demons, the present or the future, or any powers, neither height or depth, or anything else in all creation that can take us away from the precious and powerful love of God!
In a practical sense, letting God fight your battle for you looks like going about your day doing the next right thing. Keep moving. Keep trusting. Be kind. Take deep breaths. Experience God. This can all be done while still spiritually resting on the great big shoulders of Jesus Christ.
Thank you, God Almighty, for fighting our battles for us today. There is no Warrior we trust more! Thank you for having our backs. Thank you that your love has no boundaries or conditions. We marvel at the fact that we can be still and know that you are our mighty and powerful God. Thank you that we can be assured that there is another side. There is your side and we get to be on it with you. Thank you for the victory that is found in this life and definitely in our next life with you!
In Jesus's name, Amen.
