Our God reigns. He si in complete control of every situation. When difficult times come, trusting in the one who holds all things together in the only way forward. When we follow Him by faith with nothing else to rely on, He provides, and we are filled.
Over the last couple of years God has clearly worked this way in my life. In fact looking back I see that it is so vital that I trust in Him completely, more than trusting in myself, or even those closest to me; that He would take me through great trials in order that I learn to cling to the only Rock.
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. You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.' 2 Chronicles 20:15,17
This whole sense of the battle belonging to God allows me to walk in His power not mine. I give up my rights and my own self reliance, to commit myself to Him who has everything in His hands; and indeed loves me as my Father.
