““If you say to yourself, ‘These nations are greater than I; how can I drive them out? ’ do not be afraid of them. Be sure to remember what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and all Egypt:”
Deuteronomy 7:17-18 CSB
So much of the story of Israel maps onto our own salvation. Chosen by God because of nothing they had done, slowly fighting against the sins/idols that could entrap them, God defeating even the undefeatable, providing for all their needs…if they surrender and obey.
Oftentimes my sin seems greater than I have the ability to fight…Lord, remind me that You are fighting for me! That I am not facing these on my own, but rather You have already fought them and won! That You are fighting them by Your strength and they ARE more powerful than me, but NOT more powerful than YOU! Allow me to rest in the knowledge that You will win…I just need to surrender to Your will.
