How often we try to fight all our battles on our own? Moses and the children of Israel were trapped between the sea and Pharaoh’s army. Moses told Israel in Exodus 14:13-14 (KJV), "Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord...The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace”.

God's prophet spoke similar words to King Jehoshaphat when a great army came against Judah. When the praise team went out ahead of Judah's army as directed by God, he brought a huge victory, God fought for Judah.

What is God telling us here? He is saying, trust me, trust my word, do it my way and we will walk in victory every time. In his word, God tells us to cast our cares on him (1 Peter. 5:7), rest in him (Matt. 11:28-30) and seek his word for the answers to the challenges we face. We need to set our faces like flint on his promises (faith in his word) and watch his word work in our lives. It cannot fail. Fighting your own battles without God is hard. Do it God's way.
