TOTD, Nov.28

The Battle is the Lord's

We must come to realize the battles we face in this life are not ours, but God's. If we stop trying to win them by relying on the arm of flesh (our own ability), we will find the arm of the Lord (His power and ability) moving on our behalf and doing for us what we could never do on our own.

Be strong and courageous, but not be afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him:
With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles...
--- 2 Chronicles 32:7,8


My own reflection on this Thought:
* The message of today's Thought: don't ever try to win this battle of life with our own strength. That's really true!
I've once tried to win this race of life with my own strength, but the result was disappointing. Because there're so many things that I could never take control of. And so many unpredictable things happen along the way.
But by relying our strength within the arm of the Lord, I'm sure that He will lead us to His Path. Because He Himself is the PATH. He will show us the way. (-fon-)
