SJF - Daily Worship, Spirit and Word - Dec. 28, 2023

Stop fighting all by yourself. Recognize that God is here to fight for you and with you. Remember that your real fight is spiritual. The person that keeps getting on your nerves, the financial situation you are in, and the sickness in your body, are spiritual battles. Stop answering every problem with a physical response and start praying instead. Yes. Many times we must do something. But let’s start everything we do with prayer. Trust and rely on God to give you the best response and to partner with you to overcome the spiritual aspect of the problem.

“God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn. The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted. The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has made desolations in the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah” (Psalm 46:1–11, NKJV)
