By Tiffany Thibault

Bible Studying:
“The Lord will battle for you; you want solely to be nonetheless.” – Exodus 14:14

Learn or Hear Under:

Information experiences, relationship struggles, sudden payments, and physician updates are simply among the issues that flood into our day, and people conditions deliver with them a bunch of choices and feelings that may overwhelm each a part of our hearts and brains.

In our Western tradition, it is rather widespread to be offered with one in all these mantras each day: “Rise up for your self,” “Battle for the Reality,” and “Don’t let anybody stroll throughout you.” So it appears fairly pure once we are overwhelmed with difficult conditions to need to take a stand on the difficulty, rush to battle for our rights, and make sure that nobody takes benefit of us. That is what is anticipated in our tradition; even our authorized system relies on individuals wanting to do that.

After we are put into an impossibly tough scenario and really feel overwhelmed and even offended, there are some realities that we should settle for now. We should rise up for ourselves and make sure the fact is all the time revealed. We must always by no means enable ourselves to be put right into a place of being taken benefit of. Nonetheless, the fact is that there are occasions when the conditions we face are too overwhelming for us to battle, or there are completely no solutions to the ache that lies earlier than us in these darkish occasions.

In these moments, we will contemplate the reality in Exodus 14:14: The Lord will battle for you; you want solely to be nonetheless.

We should be nonetheless. We should give up the whole tough scenario and its unknown final result and each element of it to the Lord, the one who fights for you. We should give up our fears and hopes as we throw within the white flag. We should refuse to battle it and simply be nonetheless. We should give it to the Lord fully and be nonetheless. Be at peace. Know that it doesn’t matter what the scenario is likely to be, the Lord is totally combating for you, and when the Lord fights the battle, it will likely be full. You have to simply stand apart and let Him do what He’ll do within the battle.

There may be one other verse present in 2 Chronicles 20:15 that claims this: For the battle will not be yours, however God. In every exhausting scenario that you end up in, if you end up surrounded on each aspect by urgent forces, you will need to look to the Lord and give up the scenario into His very succesful fingers. He allowed the battle to return to you. You have to solely direct your eyes on the Lord and carry your fingers up in give up to Him and cling to His guarantees. Psalm 46:10 says this: Be nonetheless and know that I’m God.

This battle that you simply face. It’s the Lord’s battle. You’re to know on this that He’s God. You’re to be nonetheless. You’re to let Him battle it for you all the best way to the very finish. He’s good and He retains His phrase.

Let’s Pray:

Lord, right this moment I’ll cling to the promise this verse provides me. You’re there. You’ll battle for me in the entire exhausting and not possible conditions I’m dealing with. I carry my fingers as much as you as I give up all management of those to you. The place I would like justice, I’ll belief you. The place I would like solutions, I’ll belief you. The place I would like peace and hope, I’ll belief you. I’ll belief you in my relationships, funds, future, and well being. I’ll nonetheless be ready so that you can decide how every of those conditions can be resolved. I can be nonetheless in my coronary heart and my ideas as I cling to you and your promise. I’ll belief your phrase that you’ll battle for me. I can be nonetheless and watch you battle for me in each space of my life. Amen.
