Day 3: The Battle Belongs to God

It’s easy to become overwhelmed by the threats and opposition that surround us, especially when we focus more on our enemies than on God. The people rebuilding the wall stopped working because they believed more in the threats of their enemies than in the promises of God. But Scripture reminds us that the battle is not ours—it is the Lord’s. No matter how many or how powerful the opposition, God is the one who fights for us. Our role is to trust Him, keep working, and let Him handle the rest.

2 Chronicles 20:15 (ESV)
And he said, “Listen, all Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat: Thus says the Lord to you, ‘Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God’s.’”

Reflection: What is one battle or challenge you are facing that you need to release to God today, trusting that He will fight for you?
