Be strong, the lord is with thee
Judges 6:12
“And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD {is} with thee, thou mighty man of valour”.
We will use for this word three texts among so many that are in the Bible and they are more than capable for us to serve as base for our meditation.
At first I want to present you three manners that the enemy comes against you, three ways of proceeding of him in confrontation to the servant of God:
1 – The enemy makes fun of you
When David rose to struggle against Goliath, this looked at him and it made fun of him, judging him insignificant. A lot of times we are the smallests in our house, that son to who all look and they say that "this won't serve for anything." It can be that in the company where you work you say that you will be used forever, they tell you that you will never arise. They look at you and they make fun of you and of your dreams.
2 – The enemy pursues you
When the people of Israel left the earth of Egypt after long years of slavery, the people thought that would be free and that in the promised land they would not have more problems, however when they saw that the Egyptians came against them, a warlike people that he got up to pursue a slave people the life all they lost hope. The Egyptians had experience in the war, the land was ideal for an endless slaughter. Stone walls to the right and the left, ahead the red sea and behind the pharaoh army. The end was ordained.
With you it is also like this. Sometimes you come across enemies much better prepared than you, more studied, well educated and skilled. He seems that no there is any exit for you. The one that remains is the end.
What to do then? If the enemy makes fun of me, is it stronger, larger and more capable? If I am in a persecution situation or of imminent defeat, a situation where the victory seems impossible. One that is capable to do what anyone more can and this somebody is GOD, the EL SHADDAI, Almighty.
When the enemy made fun of David he didn't fear, but it trusted God and he left victorious because before the fight began David already glorified God for the victory. Even before struggling with the giant David he declared already that the Lord he would give the giant in his hands because he was not making fun of David, but it made fun of the army of alive God.
When the people of Israel were in front of the red sea God ordered that you walked towards the sea. He seemed a madness, but they obeyed and they crossed the sea. God made a highway to appear in the middle of the sea for the people to pass. When the Egyptians tried to cross they were swallowed by the waters of the ocean and to today the wheels of the pharaoh cars are there to prove the power of God.
It can be that God asks for him something absurdity. It will fit to you to decide to obey and to reach the victory or to continue in the despair. As you begin to obey God the victories they will come and there we entered in the third point.
3 – The enemy fears you
When you spy were them Jericho to see as it was the city, Raabe declared them that the people were with a lot of fear and her same he knew that they would be defeated, therefore they had already heard to speak of the things that the Lord he was doing in the middle of the people of Israel. The people of Jericho knew that they would be defeated and that God would give the city in the hands of the Israelis.
He will happen like this with you. The marvels will begin to appear when you hears the voice of God and to obey. The others will hear on these marvels and they will know that is it Lord acting in your life, they will fear and equally they will be defeated. No because you were strong, but because God will continue making marvels still larger in your life.
God said Joshua: "Nobody will resist you". Likewise it will be with you. Nobody will be capable to stay to your front when you if it puts in total comfortable obedience of God for your life.
God is still same God and it continues capable to operate marvels. Have faith and He makes an effort you because the Lord it will be with you!
Think about.
See you!
