Exodus 14:14
The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent

How many things do we do battle with something every day in our own strength?  How many battles do we try to handle on our own?  How many battles are we facing and worrying about?  How does it make you feel to know you have neither the strength, courage, or will to handle it?  I already know the answer. I face this all the time in my own life.  Many times I worry and fret without even giving thought to turn it over to God.  Why do I want to do this?  Don’t I believe in the power of God? Certainly I do but for some reason I choose to keep the issue to myself.  Sometimes I just want to bury my head in the sand and hope it blows by.  Does this in any way sound like it is a life that is being lived to honor and glorify God.  No it does not.  I have work to do in this area.  I am not sure about you but I must confess it and turn these over to God and watch His power intercede over it.  I hope to share what God has shown me today in these scriptures with you in the future.  Honor and glorify Him by giving your battles and issues into His capable hands.
