The battle belongs to the Lord [April 14, 2022 ]

The battle belongs to the Lord
Ecclesiastes 9:11
I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all

If I am to summarize the meaning of the verse above, I will say, the success of everything we do, does not depend on our abilities but on the power of God which can do the impossible

There is a song that says
In heavenly armour
We’ll enter the land
The battle belongs to the Lord
No weapon that is fashioned against us will stand
The battle belongs to the Lord
We sing glory, honor, power and strength to the Lord.

It is important to see every challenge we encounter as another opportunity for God to glorify in Himself in our lives. The battle belongs to the Lord.

With this attitude no challenge will overwhelm you. Isaiah 40:31 says
They that wait (trust in God to move on their behalf) on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.

Matthew 19:26
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible,; but with God all things are possible.

Like the verse above says, all things are possible to them that believe. Keep trusting God and He will not disappoint you
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Whenever you encounter a challenge,turn it over to the Lord in prayer, the battle belongs to Him

Prayer
Meditate on the words of verse 2 of song quoted above:

When the enemy rushes in
Do not fear
The battle belongs to the Lord
Take courage my friend your redemption is near
The battle belongs to the Lord
We sing glory, honor, power and strength to the Lord.
Amen
