2 Chronicles 19-21

[Jahaziel] said: "Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.'" (2 Chronicles 20:15)

How many of my life's battles are not mine, but God's? If only I had stood and had allowed God to do God's part, then certain battles would have been settled by now. I'm impulsive. I'm proud. I'm self-confident. I have acted on those tendencies. I have battled under the influence of those characteristics. What if I had waited? What if I had humbled myself, had checked my ego, and had watched for a while?

When fear or discouragement overtake you, reader, will you remember, "The battle is not yours, by God's?"
