“When you go out to war against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, you shall not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. And when you draw near to the battle, the priest shall come forward and speak to the people and shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel, today you are drawing near for battle against your enemies: let not your heart faint. Do not fear or panic or be in dread of them, for the LORD your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.’
This is addressed to the people of God, those who fear Him, who have faith and belief and trust and commitment and obey His Word. We, the Body of Christ, are numbered among the precious recipients of that promise. Hallelujah!
The question remains though, will we, like the example of the children of Israel, pursue a pattern of fluctuating trust or will we listen to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and trust in the Word of the LORD, God, the Almighty in all things?
