The Battle Equation + The Victory Solution – 2 Samuel 10:12

12 Courage! We'll fight with might and main for our people and for the cities of our God. And God will do whatever he sees needs doing!"

– 2 Samuel 10:12

The Battle Equation + The Victory Solution

Are you a math-whiz?  The kind of person who looks at numbers and gets excited about solving problems?  Me? . . . not so much.  I'm more of a pictures kind of guy.  I like to look at the end result . . . the beauty of the completed piece.  I do however, get simple geometry.  I get it because to me, it's tangible.  I can wrap my mind around  how big, or how round, or how wide.  It's those "what-if x = y and z decides to come play" kinds of problems that drive me nuts.  That's why I like today's scripture because there is only one possible answer, no matter what the problem is:  God is going to do whatever He sees needs doing.

No matter what battle we are facing, be it finances, health, relationships, or any number of warring spirits, our God; my God; your God, is the answer to all of them.  There is a catch though . . . Like all things mathematic, each part must be represented in order for the expected outcome to be achieved.  In other words, God will do His part to take care of the things we can't, as long as we do our part to take care of the things we can.

• Is your battle financial?  Well sitting at home hoping for a miracle while watching game-show reruns isn't going to change the bottom line on your bank statement.
• Are you facing cancer, or arthritis, or depression, or anxiety, or any other attack to your body or your mind?  Complaining about your circumstances isn't going to bring about healing.
• Are your kids straying down a slippery slope and you fear for their future?  Is your marriage in trouble?  Are your parents showing signs of dementia or Alzheimer's?  There is only one way to bring peace to your relationships.

Here's the equation you need for all of those battles:

Go before the Father  +  

Seek His will, and His purpose, and His plan for your life  +  

Dive into His Word every day  +  

Do your part by taking a proactive role in your life  +  

Praise God in the midst of your struggles.                          

God will do whatever He sees needs doing

In other words, it takes devising and executing a battle plan with Courage, and Might, and Main for your relationship with God FIRST, and THEN God will take care of the things that need taking care of in the spiritual realm to bring about the solution that HE wants for you at this time in your life.

God will ALWAYS come through.  It might not be exactly how you or I think the outcome should be, but it will always be exactly what God has planned for us.  God will see the true need, and in every instance, His goal will be to bring us into a closer love relationship with Him.  THAT is His main goal for our lives.  THAT is God's Victory solution.  

Prayer

Father, Thank You for loving us so much.  Thank You for always being the solution for every battle we face.  Help us to grow our love relationship with You, which is our true Victory in this life.  We love You Lord!

Have a Blessed day everyone!
