In Exodus 14:25, the Egyptians said, "Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians."
In verse 13 and 14, Moses said unto the people: "Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace."
Throughout the book of Deuteronomy, the Lord gave the assurance of victory unto His people, and Joshua 23:10 records the wonderful promise: "One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the Lord your God, He it is that fighteth for you, as He hath promised you."
It always feels good to be on the winning side!! No matter what kind of competition we are engaged in, it always makes us feel more secure if we have the assurance of being on the winning team!
And, it is always very sad to see someone that is a loser -- just drifting along, not seeming to care whether or not they are on the winning side!
This attitude is treacherous in every aspect of living, but it is especially so in the spiritual realm! The Lord NEVER wants us to be a loser! He has promised to fight for us, and give us the needed grace and strength for every day; and with God fighting for us, we have the guaranteed assurance of complete victory in every battle that confronts us!
The Lord can even cause our enemies to cry out, "let us flee ... for The Lord fighteth for them."
"What a mighty God we serve"!!
