The Battle is God's

A large group of warriors had gathered to fight the Israelites (2 Chronicles 20:2).

King Jehoshaphat asked God for help. He then appointed a choir to march out into battle in front of the Israelite army.

The worshipers sang: “Praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever”. When they began to sing, the Lord caused the enemy forces to attack and destroy one other.

Praising God in the midst of a challenge means overriding our natural instincts toward self-protection, strategizing, and worry. Worshiping God guards our hearts against troubling thoughts and self-reliance. They remind us that the battle is not ours, but God’s (2 Chronicles 20:15).

Every battle in this life is God’s. The outcome belongs to Him because He is sovereign. Whatever happens in our life, let us remember to praise God and worship Him.

The Joy of The Lord Is My Strength.

God is Greater than our Problem

God our Father is almighty. No one can match His strength and power.

The Psalmist said: “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.“ (Psalm 91:1)

Regardless of what today may bring, or the trouble you are now going through, don’t forget that your God is stronger than anything in your life.

So, be confident! The shadow of His all-prevailing presence guarantees that His power can turn even the worst situation into something good.

Our God is Powerful

God’s glory is seen in His almighty power! 

And God has chosen to “show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him” (2 Chron. 16:9). 

From the dividing of the Red Sea, to the marvel of manna in the wilderness, to the miraculous virgin birth, and ultimately to the power of the resurrection, our Almighty God has chosen to demonstrate His strength to bless, preserve, and protect His people. 

And God delights in showing Himself strong in the challenges of our life. God proves His power on our behalf. 

Let us remember to give Him the glory! 

All of God’s promises are always backed by His wisdom, love, and power.

God's Grace through Christ Jesus

I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus, that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge, even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 1: 4-8)

1. Paul always thanked God for His work in the Corinthian believers' live.
   - He did it continually and deliberately.
   - He thanked God for His grace through Christ Jesus.
   
2.  The Corinthian believers were enriched in everything by Christ Jesus.
   - They were enriched with a great capacity to know the things of God.
   - They were enriched with a great ability to share the things of God.
3. The gospel of Christ was confirmed and established among them.
4. They were blessed with spiritual gifts.
5. They would eagerly persevere to the end.
6. They would be assured of their safety in Christ.
7. They would be blameless to the end.

• We must take time and effort to affirm and encourage fellow Christian believers.

•  We must also thank God for what He is doing through them.

The Light of Life

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." (John 8:12)

• Light is God's first gift to His creation. The earth depends on light for its survival. Plants, animals, humans all need light and sunshine. Light gives us life, warmth, and a whole spectrum of colors to appreciate.


• The light of life was taken away when Adam sinned. When man fell into sin, darkness of eternal death loomed over us. We were banished From God's Presence and separated from all that is good.


• Jesus is the light that entered the world. The Gospel light has penetrated and dispelled the darkness of sin and evil. The night of unbelief has vanished before the light of the Word and the Spirit of grace. Life has triumph over death. The heart of Jesus lives in the hearts of all!


• Jesus’ followers have the light of life. They trust God in the brightness of the light, and they overcome darkness of sin and evil through God's grace. Jesus Christ is the Light that will lead His people to eternal life!
