Release Today’s Battle to God

By: Alisha Headley

“…This is what the LORD says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.” (2 Chronicles 20:15b)

We all face battles in this life. Some battles are on a smaller scale, such as facing small battles with your spouse, or getting your kids rushed out the door for school. Some of us battle larger wars, like cancer, job loss, wayward children, and broken families. Many of us face daily battles within our mind for worth and value.

The truth is, we all face battles in this life. Jesus himself tells us this in John 16:33 saying, “…in this world you will have trouble, but take heart, I have overcome the world.”

We can’t take away the battles. But what we can do is learn to abide in today’s Scripture and realize that the battles we face are the Lord’s to handle, not ours. And it’s a glorious thing to have the greatest Warrior of all time fighting on behalf of us.

So, what if we began to step out of the way when it comes to fighting our battles, and instead let God step in and fight the battle through His strength? Today’s scripture reminds us that we can hand over every battle to Him. We have an Almighty God who already holds the victory. We don’t need to put our hands in the battle, rather we can step aside and let Him take full control.

The battle is not yours, but God’s. Let’s put on our armor, pick up our sword, and stand firm behind the One who holds the victory. He is the greatest defender, the greatest leader, the greatest victor, and we need to only stand beside Him and watch Him lead the fight.
