The Battle Belongs to God!

Deuteronomy 20

 

Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Tuesday, December 21.

 

The victory belongs to God! We join in His victory when we live our lives according to the promises of God. No matter your circumstances, the battle belongs to God! Moses commanded the religious leaders of Israel to remind God’s people of this truth in Deuteronomy 20:2-4:

 

When you are approaching the battle, the priest shall come near and speak to the people. He shall say to them, “Hear, O Israel, you are approaching the battle against your enemies today. Do not be fainthearted. Do not be afraid, or panic, or tremble before them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.”

 

You may not be facing a literal battle today, but whatever you are facing have courage and trust God for His victory! The Bible teaches us that the victory we have and the victory we live is a vicarious one. That means it is a victory that is not of our own making or doing, but rather a victory that has been given to us through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

 

Living the victorious life is, and will always be, God’s work of grace in us and through us for His glory! Let us be clear about this from the forefront: the battle belongs to God!

 

Paul said in 2 Corinthians 1:20-22,
 
“For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us. Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God, who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.”

 

Seize the moment and live the victorious life! Be an overcomer because “in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37).

 

God bless you!
