Joshua 23:10 KJV:
One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the Lord your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.
There is a constant need to check the quality, integrity and nature of your support system. There's no one alive who does not need a form of support or help of a kind; we cannot succeed alone without help. Where we now go for help and support makes all the difference between being an overcomer or being overcome by challenges.
Today's extract makes an assertion, and gives conditions under which that assertion can be true. One of us, with the right support system and the right backing, will chase a thousand. There's a multiplier effect of God's help- you alone with God can achieve more than a million without God's help. Ask the young boy whose small lunch of five loaves and two fishes helped feed over five thousand men, besides women and children. He had twelve baskets of food left, a result that has no basis scientifically, mathematically or physically.
If God fights for you, you don't have to do much- just keep depending absolutely on God for help. It sounds easy to say but the challenges we face and the timeline and deadlines we attach to these challenges keep pushing us to 'help' God, but we forget that we really cannot help God. He's our help; we cannot help ourselves. He's the refuge and strength, we need him, not the other way around.
As we go out today, let us remember this: God fights for those who depend only on Him, and he ensures that they overcome, no matter what the challenges may be. Pity the man without God and without help, left alone to carry the burdens and issues of life alone. God has promised to be there for us, and because his promises never fail, our lives can never go to waste. His time of favour is here.
