Take Up Your Position!

2 Chronicles 20:12 "God, won't you stop them? We are powerless against this mighty army that is about to attack us. We do not know what to do, but we are looking to You for help."

Greetings,

A week ago I received a frantic phone call from a friend who was having a medical crisis.  Her liver was close to failing, and the doctors did not know why.  We prayed the verse above, except it sounded like this: "God, help us right now! Stop those enzymes from going up. We are powerless to do anything about it, and not even the doctors know what to do. Our eyes are on You; we are looking to You for help!"

It was an honest, simple cry for help, and He answered.  A couple of days later a liver biopsy showed there was no liver damage, and the enzymes went down to safe levels. AMEN!

As my friend and I wait for more test results, we are both clinging to the verses that follow the one above.

V.15 "...Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. The battle is not yours, but God's."

V.17 "...You will not have to fight this battle.  Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you...Do not be afraid...the Lord will be with you."

She and I have taken up our "position," which is one of prayer.  We are standing firm in the presence of God, and we are reminding ourselves that He is with us and that He is the one doing the battle until we see the full deliverance.

If you are facing a battle today, take up your position before the Lord and see the deliverance the Lord will give you too!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We are looking to You for help. We are powerless to fight the battle; thank You that You are the One Who fights for us.  We position ourselves before You, and we are never leaving! In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.
