FAITH CAPSULE: Allow God to rise on your behalf.

Exodus 14:10-31, Psalm 68
 
Are you attempting to fight your battle by yourself or you have engaged your battle by yourself? The more you take away your battle from God, the more you give way to defeat. Will you allow God to rise on your behalf? David, by virtue of his experience in life battles stated, “Let God arise,let His enemies be scattered;let those also who hate Him flee before Him.” (Psalm 68:1) Have you not known that what touches every committed child of God touches God? Every enemy of God’s child also takes a place as God’s enemy.
We know that we have never seen or heard of God losing a battle on behalf of His children. We also know assuredly that any battle that is lost is the result of our not letting God arises on our behalf. When trouble comes to one’s way and one begins to lose one’s rest, it is an indication that one is taking one’s battle away from God. When you lose your rest, you will fail from being able to stand still. When you are no longer standing still, you are not far from falling down. Many have fallen; many are falling as regard to confronting battles such as finances, health, and marriage because they have not let God fight the fight. The Israelites experienced what God can do when He fights on behalf of His children, but in the face of challenges they could let God arise at the crossing of the Red Sea stating to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt? 12 Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.” (Exodus 14:11-12) “…do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The LORD will fight your battle and you shall hold your peace.’”(Exodus 14:13-14) Does it sound like this verse is addressing you? It is time to step out of fear; stand in faith and allow God to rise on your behalf. At every time we take our stand by allowing God to rise on our behalf, we shall be able to see and receive the accomplished victory. The words of the Israelites are not that of ones that allow God to rise on their behalf. Moses responded in faith,
 
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to let God arise on your behalf so that enemies become permanently and eternally terminated by being scattered.
