That will be your experience and mine, as we act upon the principles laid out in this passage. When you are assaulted and tempted to give way to fear, first remind yourself of the source of your help, and deny the tendency all of us have to trust other resources. Call to mind who the Lord is and what he can do, and take your stand on that. And then move out to face that obstacle, that opposition, whatever it may be. The result is that when we get there, the thing we feared is helpless.
Power is taken from it.
The thing which caused so much stress and sorrow becomes a source of blessing and encouragement. The battle is the Lord's, not ours .
