Theme For David Jeremiah Daily Devotional February 9 2022 – Bible Battles
Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s.
1 Samuel 17:47
Recommended Reading: Psalm 24
The Bible is full of battle language, and there’s no doubt Who is in control. Exodus 15:3 says, “The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His name.” A courageous prophet told King Jehoshaphat, “Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s” (2 Chronicles 20:15). King Hezekiah told his people, “Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid nor dismayed before the king of Assyria, nor before all the multitude that is with him.… With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God, to help us and to fight our battles” (2 Chronicles 32:7-8).
We’re living in a day when we may feel our foes are winning. Don’t let Satan fool you. The battle belongs to the Lord. That’s a New Testament theme too, for “in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37).
Today—in all its affairs—Jesus Christ reigns upon His throne.
In heavenly armor we’ll enter the land, / The battle belongs to the Lord. / No weapon that’s fashioned against us will stand, / The battle belongs to the Lord.
Jamie Owens-Collins, “The Battle Belongs to the Lord”
