Exodus 15:2
How do you fight your battles? With strength, strategy, or sheer determination? The Israelites faced their first great battle against the Amalekites, but their victory wasn’t won by military might alone. Instead, it came through faith and dependence on God. As long as Moses held up his hands in prayer, Israel prevailed. But when he grew tired, he needed help to keep them raised. Like Moses, we all face moments of exhaustion. We struggle to rely on God, thinking we must fight alone. But true victory comes when we trust in His strength, not our own. When we feel weak, we can turn to Him—and to those He places in our lives for support. The battles we face belong to the Lord, and He is always fighting for us. Will you trust Him to carry you through?
