Often I find myself becoming depressed and worried when I see a fight arising that I know that I will not be able to handle.These fights that I speak of aren't necessarily physical fights but just battles that I see arising when it comes to certain areas in my life, like classes or work. I guess one of my weaknesses is that I don't really see myself as a very "strong" person (but that's something that I know I need to pray about), so when a conflict springs up I tend to dig holes to find my way out. I will try to avoid a mountain at all cost, I will take on anything but a fight.
But as I study His Word I am finding that it is not my job to fight against what ever conflict is present in my life.
Exodus 14:14 says "The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace." This scripture appears before God supernaturally parted the red sea for Moses and the Israelites to cross, while drowning the Egyptian army that tried to chase after them.
I feel that as long as I stay faithful to Him, the only armor that I will need is the full armor of God. I want to get it out of my head that whenever a problem arises I will have to find a way to fight it on my own. Because now I know that God will take care of every little problem that I feel that I have in my life. And if it is not through some supernatural way, He will instill in me courage and strength to get through this battle. Character traits that I know can only come from Him.
So it's time for me to stop worrying, pulling hairs, bitting nails and drawing out battle plans to map out which angle I am going to ambush my enemy. But what I am going to do, is turn off my TV, unplug the radio and pray to God that He will bring me through another battle like He has done so many times before.
