Win or Lose

I want to talk about battles today. What battle are you facing? I want you to know that it is in the fighting of the battle that we win. If we don’t fight the battle we lose.

There was a time with Moses where he held his hands up and the Israelites were winning the battle when he put his hands down they were losing the battle. Aaron and Hur came alongside Moses and held his hands up for him. So too do we need people to come alongside us and help us fight the battle.

And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands were heavy and they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. Exodus 17:11-13

If we don’t fight the battle, then we’ve already lost. It’s in fighting the battle that we win. What’s your battle? Mine is anxiety. When I don’t fight the anxious thoughts with God’s word I lose and wind up cycling those thoughts in my mind. When I do pray against the thoughts or quote scripture I win the battle of anxiety. I just encourage you dear readers to fight the battles that you are facing. You will win no matter what the outcome because you stood your ground and fought the battle. One of the blessings of knowing God is sometimes we need only be still and he fights the battle for us.

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10

Take courage mighty warrior you can fight and know that God will come through for you.

What battle do you need to fight?

What battle do you need to be still in?

Share your thoughts with me.

Genuinely Yours,
