Stay Calm
The LORD himself will fight for you. Just stay calm. Exodus 14:14 (NLT)

The Almighty has not changed. Whatever we know of Him from the Scriptures, He is still today. God still fights for His own! He has several ways He takes over the battle from any of His beloved and decides His own strategy. One way He fights for you is to trouble your enemy. (Exodus 14:24-25). He will do it by overthrowing every stubborn pursuer of His purpose in your life. Or appear in a dream by night to frighten whoever has taken what rightfully belongs to you and command such to restore to you fully. (Genesis 20:2-7).

God can take over the conflict against you by causing your enemy to hear a terrifying noise. (2 Kings 7:5-7). The Syrian army that encamped against Judah fled when God turned the approach of four lepers to sounds of chariots and noise of horses! He can give your enemies dreams that will terrify them. (Judges 7:13-14). He can cause them to destroy each other. (2 Chronicles 20:23-24). Stay calm. The Man of War 'has your back!' This is your day.

Wisdom Fountain: "God did not bring you this far to abandon you in deep water. He's not a spectator; He's the navigator."
Prayer: My Father, I give You thanks for being my strong tower, my shield, and an ever-present help in times of trouble. When I did not know which way to turn, Your wisdom directed me. When I felt weak, Your strength sustained me. Thank You for fighting battles on my behalf—both the ones I knew about and the ones you shielded me from behind the scenes. Help me to keep trusting You with my whole heart and to walk boldly in the confidence that You never leave me nor forsake me in Jesus' name.
