Let God fight for you

by R. Douglass Mahaffey      

     In Exodus 14:14, when Moses and the children of Israel we're standing at the banks of the Red Sea and the entire Egyptian army was approaching, ready to attack them, Moses told the people, " The Lord will fight for you and you shall keep your peace!"
     What Moses was actually telling the people was to let go and submit to the will of God, even in the face of death. Even though the Israelites had been slaves for over 400 years, because of the signs and wonders they had seen God perform through Moses, they listened to the command and obeyed it. Their obedience save their lives.
     As the disciple, Stephen was being executed for spreading the gospel of Jesus, he looked up into the heavens and smiled. He knew that God would deliver him from those who hated and we're stoning him. The Bible says that Jesus stood to his feet at the right hand of God, the Father, and welcome the martyr, Stephen with honor as Stephen gave up the ghost and commended his spirit unto the Lord.
     What evils are you facing on a daily basis? The Bible says, "Blessed Are they who are persecuted for my namesake." Haters of Christians will always hate what they have closed their eyes and harden their hearts to, the truth; until the Spirit of the Lord is able to reach them.
     Usually, this happens when a person is at their very lowest point of their lives, and they have no where else to look but upward. There, they will find a loving, just, holy and accepting God who is ready to love them just as they are.
     Stand firm in your daily fight, for to a Christian, the kingdom of heaven is in our hearts. We are the church and God has charged us all with presenting our bodies and our very lives, a living sacrifice; holy and beloved, to do what is that good and righteous will of God.
