"God Takes Over Your Battle" tells the story of King Jehoshaphat, an ancient ruler who placed his unwavering hope in the Most High God. He believed that without divine intervention, victory was impossible. As noted in 2 Chronicles 20:22 (KJV), "And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were smitten."
This passage illustrates how faith can lead to miraculous outcomes in times of struggle. Brethren, there is something remarkable about praising God. When you express gratitude for His power and love towards you, you naturally attract His attention, and He will personally attend to your needs. God delights in the praises of His people; this is why the psalmist wrote in Psalm 22:3 (KJV), "But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel." Our adversary understands this truth and will do everything within his power to discourage you from offering praise to God. The Bible does not instruct us to praise God only when things are going well; that idea comes from a negative place. Instead, Scripture teaches us to give thanks and praise in all circumstances, whether they are good or bad. By adopting this habit and lifestyle of gratitude, we can effectively drive away our adversaries.
Dear friends, if you wish for God to take charge of your struggles, it's important to be mindful of your words. Focus on listening more and speaking less. A person who speaks excessively without first listening to others can be considered foolish. Proverbs 15:2 (KJV) states, "The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours out foolishness." It's essential not to let your current challenges dictate your words. This can be a weapon used by the enemy of our souls to ensnare his victims, as he cannot see what is in our minds. He uses frustration, depression, calamity, disappointment, discouragement, and fear to launch his attacks against us. If by chance you manage to escape these challenges, he will target what you hold dearโespecially your loved onesโto compel you to seek God earnestly. This tactic was evident in the story of Job, which took place three thousand years ago. We are grateful to God Almighty for not allowing the tempter to go beyond those trials.
Job upholds his integrity and unwavering commitment to God, declaring, "For I know that my redeemer liveth" (Job 19:25, KJV). He expresses his belief that his Redeemer lives and will stand upon the earth in the last days. Brothers and sisters, whom are you directing your struggles towardโSatan or God Almighty? Keep this in mind: do not fear those who can only take your life; rather, fear the one who has the power to destroy both body and soul in hell. (Luke 12:4-5) Shalom!
