Divine Strategies and Divine Unity 8-11-10

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I am Yours and You are mine. You are the Commander of the Army of the Lord, and I willing align my heart and mind with Your command this day in the power of Your grace. … “When Joab saw that the line of battle was set against him both in the front and in the rear, he chose some of the picked men of Israel and arrayed them against the Arameans; the rest of his troops he put in the charge of his brother Abishai, and they were arrayed against the Ammonites. He said, ‘If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will help you. Be strong, and let us be courageous for our people and for the cities of our God; and may the Lord do what seems good to Him.’ So Joab and the troops who were with him advanced toward the Arameans for battle; and they fled before him. When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, Joab’s brother…” (1 Chronicles 19:10-15). Lord, give us eyes to see the battle lines set against us and those You’ve entrusted to our care, with responsibility and authority. Let the cities of our God where You’ve called us to live out our faith as salt and light not fall into enemy hands. Give us Your divine strategies that will send the fear of the Lord into the hearts of our spiritual enemies arrayed against us to steal and kill and destroy. Give us divine unity to stand with our brothers and sisters in the faith, to cover one another’s backs, to acknowledge our own vulnerabilities and to cover theirs with wisdom, mercy, and grace. Let our strengths cover their weaknesses and their strengths cover ours. Then let us be strong and courageous in the knowledge and faith of the power of Your grace that is sufficient for each one of us. Then Your power is made perfect even in our weaknesses. As we position ourselves for battle with the strategies and unity You provide, we position ourselves for the victory You’ve already won. You will do what seems good to You, for You are a good God, mighty in battle and mighty to save. And what’s good for us is bad for our enemies. As you arise, our enemies will be scattered. As Your name is exalted, their names will be forgotten. As Your Word goes forth, their words shall fall to ground to shrivel and die as the idle threats that they are in the face of the advance of your Kingdom. “No weapon formed against (us) shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against (us) in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and (our) righteousness is from (You), says the Lord” (Isaiah 54:17). Our enemies and their vain threats shall flee before us, as Your river of life flows forth from us in the cities of our God (Psalm 46:4-6). In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today!
