"For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.”
Deuteronomy 20:4
Much of one's life is looked upon as a journey that involves obstacles, unforeseen tragedies, and a series of difficulties that at times takes courage to overcome. It is seen as a voyage of traverse terrane in which one most plow through with solitary valor. Somehow we so often miss the mark. Why is it that we always believe that this fight for our life is a battle fought alone? I'm not quite sure where the intent for this life somehow got so immensely misconstrued.
Why do we walk alone?
Because we are afraid...?
Or do we wallow in egocentric, obdurate lack of submission to aid?
Either way, we have come to this general speculation that life and all of its contretemps were meant to be endured unaccompanied.
Are we strong enough? Not even close. It is in His strength that we have victory.
Do we have what it takes? Not likely. Our empowerment comes from a far grander source.
Do we know the outcome? Rarely. His path is far more thought out than our own.
But are we trapped? Hardly. He is the hand which reaches down and liberates.
What we face is real, how we face it is really what counts!
