Our first reading gives a great principal for our spiritual
lives. On the brink of fleeing
from the Egyptians, Moses encourages his fearful people by saying, “The LORD himself will
fight for you; you have only to keep still.”
Each
of us will face temptations and persecution from evil. At such moments we may naturally ask,
“What can I do to fight?” The
answer is given succinctly by Moses—we do not fight. We let God fight.
We only have to keep still.
Our Psalm this morning speaks of God’s majesty—He is gloriously
triumphant, magnificent in power, a warrior and a savior—and this is the one
Who fights our battles.
The
saints are a great witness to humility in the spiritual battle for souls. Mary Magdalene was delivered of seven
demons, not by her own power, but by the power of Jesus Christ. She was sent as the apostle to the
apostles, not from her initiative but Christ’s.
This
morning renew your trust in God.
He is the one who will fight whatever battles you are facing today and
in the future.
