How many moments have I seen You faithfully move on my behalf, God?

How many times have I stopped to stack stones, so to say, as a memorial of Your miracles from how You’ve so faithfully addressed my moments of need?

You are truly the God of provision, peace, protection, and prosperity.

You are truly the God of fidelity, forgiveness, and freedom.

You are unmatchable power to my weary mind, assuring hope to my needy heart, and living water to my desperately thirsty soul.

Over and over, again and again, You have so faithfully provided for me.

What reason do I have to doubt You now?

You are my safe passage.

You are my assured promise.

You are my exodus, my shield, and my defense.

No foe that could ever come against me is more powerful, or able than You.

No attack of any enemy, no matter the odds seemingly stacked against me, will ever be able to overcome You.

As Deuteronomy 20 says:

When you go out to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, you shall not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. And when you draw near to the battle, the priest shall come forward and speak to the people and shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel, today you are drawing near for battle against your enemies: let not your heart faint. Do not fear or panic or be in dread of them, for the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.’

1 Corinthians 15:57-58 says:

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

• No matter what this life may bring or what it is that You call me to,

• No matter the mountain, the valley, the wilderness, or desert,

• No matter the test, the tribulation, or the trial,

I can trust that You haven’t left me here alone.

While my every effort is exhausting in the battle, You are my faithful rescue, my assured, promised exodus. You are not only my provision, but you give purpose to the pain and problems of this world; You stand faithful on the other side of it all, with a promise over my life.

May I remain immovable. May I abide. And may I be willing to wait in hopeful expectation of Your powerful and assured declaration of victory over whatever giant I may face, whatever chasm I may feel is uncrossable, or whatever mountainous wall I may see as immovable.

You are the God who CAN, and You are on my side!
