30 Days of Promises - #27

"GOD WILL FIGHT FOR US"

I remember a couple of years ago I was having a hard day for a number of reasons, and by the time I got to the afternoon I was feeling overwhelmed and needing encouragement. At the time I said to God, "I need you to say something to me right now."

I was standing in the kitchen and as I said that, I noticed the time on the oven, which said 14:14 (2:14pm). For those who know me, you will know that God often speaks to me through numbers, and in that moment, I just knew that number meant something. So, I said to God, "is that you? What are you saying?"

As I said that, I felt like He was saying to look up Exodus 14:14. When I looked it up, this is what it said:

"The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm." (Exodus 14:14 NLT)

I knew that this was God reminding me of His promises. The same God who parted the Red Sea for the Israelites, and who ultimately overcame the power of sin and death in our lives, is fighting for us. No weapon formed against us will prosper because God is on our side!
