Andy Elmes: Breakfast of Champions

Good morning, Champion. Your God will fight your fights 2 Chronicles 20:15-17 (NIV) He said: "Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the LORD says to you: 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's. Tomorrow march down against them. They will be climbing up by the Pass of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the gorge in the Desert of Jeruel. You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you.' " Hey Champion, if you are facing a big problem or a situation that makes you feel somewhat “out-numbered” draw your hope from these verses today. The promises of God to King Jehoshaphat are the same promises to you today in Christ. Here is some real good advice if you are facing something that needs a win : 1. Don’t be afraid or discouraged because of the vastness of the situation; just remember, your God is bigger! 2. Remember you’re a covenant kid. The battle is not yours it is God’s, and by faith tag Him and let Him in the wrestling ring of this situation or fight. 3. Remember, you will not have to do the fighting but you do need to turn up and position yourself for a win. Why turn up? You need to position yourself so you can see the deliverance of your God. You won’t be able to see how incredible God’s deliverance is if you're hiding behind a rock of fear. 4. Finally, we are reminded again not to let fear be the atmosphere of our lives or this present situation, but faith (child-like trust in God). Turn up for the fight knowing what your problem does not know – God Almighty is on your side and has made your fight His fight! Take these keys today and apply them to your situation, and as you do you will see that the God who was for King Jehoshaphat is the God who is for you, too. Go fight that battle and win it, without fighting! Bless you, Andy
