“Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth. My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever. Those who desert him will perish, for you destroy those who abandon you. But as for me, how good it is to be near God! I have made the Sovereign LORD my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do. Psalm 73:25 – 28
A father was watching his young son try to dislodge a heavy stone. The boy couldn’t make the stone budge. “Are you sure you are using all your strength?” the father asked. “Yes, I am,” said the exasperated boy. “No, you are not,” the father replied. “You haven’t asked me to help you.”
Like this father, God also wants to get involved in our battles, but we have to ask Him to help us. He will not rudely jump into our affairs until we acknowledge His presence and call on Him. With God on your side, you are a majority.
Have you asked God for help? Have you really asked Him for strength to fight your battles? Sometimes we pray hard and long and depend on those to get us through. Other times, we seek out a ‘man of God’ or ‘woman of God’ to pray for us and place our confidence in their prayers. But in all these actions, where do we place our faith – in God or in man? Beloved, l say it again, with God on your side, you are a majority.
When you see yourself surrounded by people with formidable and frightening weapons set against you, don’t be afraid. Yes, they may have more than you have. Yes, they may know more than you know. Yes, they may talk big and make you feel small. But wait a minute – who is on their side? They may seem more equipped than you are; but all of that is just the arm of flesh. It is the flexing of human muscle. *He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”* 2 Kings 6:16
Now, turn and look at yourself. Yes, you may be inexperienced. Yes, you may be just a little person. But, with you is the Lord God Jehovah. If the Lord fights in your corner, you have no fear of the giants who blow hot air against you. He is *Jehovah Nissi,* the Lord our Banner in battle.
The Lord will help you. The Lord will fight for you. The Lord will give you the victory. He said “Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. Jeremiah 33:3 Invite Him to the battle. He is your strength.
