It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them.   Ps 44:3

The world around us today drives us to the edge to perform and achieve success and prosperity. Day in and day out our struggle is to achieve greater heights, better results and gain more fame, however in Ps 44:3 the psalmist refers to when the Israelites left the land of Egypt and entered into the land of Canaan it was not their own effort that gave them victory, rather it was the Lord himself who fought for them, drove all the inhabitants of the land and gave the Israelites possession of the land.

The same way all of us are facing some or the other challenge in our life and find it so difficult to cope up. Do not worry beloved, irrespective of what situation you are facing right now, the Lord says to you “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Do not give up in this moment of despair as the Lord delivered the Israelites from the hands of their enemy and gave them possession of the promised land the same way the Lord will fight against the enemy for you, Trust is God, look up to him, you are precious to him and he will not forsake you.

The lord didn't forsake the Israelite he gave them victory by fighting for them. Do not trust and rely on your efforts and works to be victorious, as the psalmist says it’s the right hand of the lord, the hand of favour and the strength of the Lord that can give us victory. We need to be rooted in the hand of the Lord; we need to find our strength in the Lord. The arm of the Lord is his protection; to have the arm of the Lord around us is to be protected by him.

This moment onwards do not grow weary with the pressure of this world rather entrust your life to Jesus and his right hand, his arm and the light of his face will bring you success, will take you to green pastures because he simply loves us.
