"Surrounded, yes. Outnumbered, no. We are always surrounded. We are never safe in this world. But we are always protected. When God sends us on a mission we go not alone. Don't look down at the enemy army. Look up at the heavenly host. This is no time for fear but for courage- it is not a time to flee, but to charge. With the Lord the advantage is always on our side. Faith sees more clearly than sight. Lord, open our eyes, that we may have confidence in your ways."
Ever feel outnumbered in this world, like the devil and his cunning ways have finally gotten a hold of you and there's no way you can remain strong? Ever felt completely and utterly alone in the battle of the Lord? I know I have and I think this is another one of the devil's clever plots to destroy us. We start to feel lonely, we see how big the battle really is, despair sets in, and we give up. When those feelings start to come in we need to 'look up at the heavenly host' and remember that we are never alone. "I will never leave you nor forsake you." -Joshua 1:5.
Sure, the battle looks big and frightening, but we need to remember that we're on the winning side... with a God who will be with us every step of the way.
