God's Promises

DAY 11 OF 21

HE WILL FIGHT FOR US

In our reading of Exodus 14:13-14, Moses spoke these words to the fleeing Israelites who were watching as the Egyptians marched after them. God's people thought they had been released from Egypt freely, only to have their greatest fears realized as they watched their oppressors come to destroy them. At this moment, Moses tells them to not be afraid and stand firm, for the Lord will fight for them. They need only to be still.

This is the same thing that we need to hear when our greatest fears are looming over us. Though our fight may not look like ancient Israel's, we face our own battles. Today, you may be battling relational conflict, financial uncertainty, disease, addiction, and more. And in all that, we need to remember the words of Moses. "The Lord will fight for you." In the midst of our deepest struggles, we must not be afraid and stand firm.

Sometimes the most challenging step in all of this is giving our battles over to God. We hesitate due to our unbelief, pride, shame, and whatever else. We let ourselves be convinced that an almighty God doesn't have time for our problems. Yet through Jesus and his Spirit that dwells within us, we can wholeheartedly know that God desires to be involved in our lives. To share in our joys, our sorrows, and, yes, our fights.

So, as you fast and pray today, bring your "fights" over to God. Give them to Him, be still, and allow him to do as He has promised.

About this Plan

God's Promises

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with your whole heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13) This is a promise that God gave His people 2,600 years ago. It was a promise that the effort to pursue God would be rewarded with finding Him. For the next 21 days, we will pray and fast as we seek our Lord. He is our Promise Keeper.
