Stack on top of that the fact that God has asked us to live meaningful lives...to take care of people, to follow the eight million commands that he has given us in the bible, and to somehow decipher the individual plans that he has uniquely given for us.
This is a lot of work!...Sometimes it all seems like too much. There is absolutely no way to handle everything that life places on our daily To Do Lists.
The weight of all of this, and the fear that we will completely fail continually eats at us and leaves us feeling completely overwhelmed, until we remember on thing...
God fights for us!
In these chapters, God makes two things very clear...
1) He is on Israel's side--Over and over again, God reminds Israel of this...he makes it clear that he is absolutely fighting for them and not for their enemies.
2) God has all of the resources in heaven and on earth...and and he can even bend the laws of nature if he wants to!
In chapter 10, God literally stops the sun (Or the rotation of the earth) so that Israel will have time to defeat an enemy (he also throws hail stones at the same enemy--but that is not talked about as often)
We often forget that there is nothing that can stand in the way of our God--he can do anything that he wants--and he wants our best. He wants us to win the battles that he sends us into--and yes, he can help us in ways that we cannot even imagine.
Once again--God is the greatest power in the universe and he is on your side!
