Title: The Battle is won
For the battle is not yours, but God’s – 2 Chronicles 20:15c
I like watching wildlife documentaries, which give great insight into how animals behave and why. I noticed that the cat family has similar tactics. They stock the prey, and then they attack, and it always ends up with the target running from the danger. It usually ends up bad, and the tactic always seems to work.
Satan is described as a roaring lion seeking to devour us, devouring our relationship with God repeatedly using the same tactics. We can be confident that Satan is on the hunt, but we don’t need to respond to running away from the battle. We can stand up and defend ourselves. The scripture today tells us the battle is not ours but God’s. The lion that is seeking to separate us from God has already been beaten. We need to stand firm and face the enemy with confidence. Recognize his tactics and know the battle is done.
Real Men face the enemy with the confidence he is already defeated.
