Deuteronomy 20:4  “For the Lord your God is going with you!  He will fight for you against your enemies, and he will give you victory!”

This verse is in the context of the Israelites preparing for battle.  God wanted them to know that He is with them, He is in their corner, He is fighting for them, He will give the victory.  They just needed to be reminded of that and remember that in the midst of the battle God is on their side and the battle belongs to the Lord.

This is a good reminder for me as I live my life for Lord in the midst of challenges, struggles, battles, and difficulties.  God is with me, He is for me, He will fight on my behalf, and helps me to be victorious over whatever it is that I am dealing with.

The enemy would like me to fail and be defeated.  I need to rely on the Lord and trust in His power and ability to help me in the midst of the battles that I face.  The Lord will give the victory.

Jesus thank you for conquering death and providing life.  Help me Lord to follow you and to give you my battles on a daily basis.  May I have confidence in you and lean on you in the midst of struggle, uncertainty, and hard times.
