PUSH!

IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, MARCH 6, 2013


PUSH!

When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
  And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
  And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
 For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. Deuteronomy 20:1-4

What is it that stands before you, daring you to advance?  Maybe it is  a challenging work situation; maybe it is an office worker; maybe it is a church matter; maybe it is a test; or maybe it is depression, determined to stop you as you are engaged in prayer and life in the Word. God is with you as you go out to battle against your enemies.  He wants to you push forward, and not draw back.  The bible tells in the book of Hebrews:  "Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.  But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul" (Hebrews 30:28,29).
Today, push through the darkness and the stronghold.
