God Fighting For Us

Today my co-worker/friend/mentor/church attendee re-sent me an email that I had mailed to her and about 4 other ladies back in the Summer 2006.  Yes. Nearly 7 years ago.  She said she was looking at past emails that she had kept and this one was one of the first that came up.  It just goes to show that smack dab in the middle of chaos, stress, and uncertainty GOD lovingly reminds/nudges us to look and reach higher.  I am re-posting it here....

I know the plans I have for you saith the Lord....

Start where you are. Where are you? In the fields, all alone, being prepared by God for what is coming? 

 

You see, David had no idea when he was tending sheep, that God was preparing him to be king. But while he was doing it, he learned to do other things--like aim a slingshot really well.

 

Maybe you're on the battleground and Goliath is staring at you, taunting you. Are you tempted to fight in someone else's armour? 

 

Remember, if God has brought you to the battlefield, he has a plan to make you victorious; but don't limit God and don't get "out of yourself". You can not do battle any other way than the way that He has equipt you to perform it.

 

Have you noticed that usually God leads us to fight the giants in our lives in the most unconventional ways? 

 

It almost always goes against human logic. We have to learn to walk by faith and trust the Holy Ghost to guide us, and then not doubt it when others say "That's not the way to do it" or, "Nobody has ever done it that way before". 

 

So, use your own slingshot, not someone's armour. And ignore those who would tell you otherwise.

 

Remember what David said before he fought Goliath: "All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord's and he will give all of you into our hands" (I Samuel 17:47). 

 

God gives you the skills, the talent, and wisdom; and because it's His battle, he then fights it for you.

Give God the Glory!

Have a wonderful what is left of your day and be blessed!

So.  There ya have it.  Almost 7 years ago God gave me something to type about.  And God still sits on the Throne and reaches for the lowly.  He's the Savior in so many many ways.  Isn't it just so like Him to lead us to something tangible that will help encourage our day!  LOVE HIM!  I love Him SO much.
