Do you ever feel God is so distant? That He orchestrates events to strengthen your character--from afar? Sitting holy and distant in His throne and looking on you as you fight your battles alone? Our circumstances can be so difficult it is hard to believe God is with us.
Beloved, that is a lie. Let me share with you 3 things that will shatter that lie.
1. God Himself is a warrior.
- The Lord is a warrior. The Lord is His Name. Exodus 15:3
2. God is the one fighting the battles for you.

- The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. Exodus 14:14

- fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
- Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4
- What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31
- I will go before you and level the exalted place Isaiah 45:2
- You shall not fear them, for it is the Lord your God who fights for you.’ Deut 3:22
3. In the heart of the Warrior is YOU. Inspired by this blog
"That’s how much you mean to me!
That’s how much I love you!
I’d sell off the whole world to get you back,
trade the creation just for you."
- Isaiah 43:4 (MSG)
