Whose fighting for you?

My life sometimes feels like a roller coaster. And I use my daily life in how I write my blogs. So as I begin this one, I want to ask you a question: Whose fighting for you? This has been a revelation that I've had just this week.

As some of you know I just recently went through an engagement break up in August. And I've dealt pretty well with the circumstances. I've had my ups and my downs with it. As we all do when something dramatic happens in your life. If you've been through a major break up in your life, you know how my emotions have been a roller coaster over the past 3 months. I know I made the right decision in breaking it off and have had much support!

As I've shared, its been ups and downs and the people closet to me know the details and know the emotions I went through. I will respect my ex and not share all the dirty details of our past relationship. But I do want to share the revelation that God gave me last week to bring much closure that I've needed and I believe this will help many of you dealing with any type of situation or trial.

I was in some prayer time and God spoke so clearly to me. So clear and evident that I didn't question it one bit. God spoke to me "He never fought for you. Not once." In the big picture this was protection for me not to go back. But God said "Whitney, I have been fighting for you since day one, even before you bowed your knee down to me." I was like WHOA WHOA!!! It brought me such a peace and new perspective that I have been needing.

Two verses that I have looked up since this revelation:

Exodus 14:14
"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."

Deuteronomy 3:22
" Do not be afraid of them; the Lord your God himself will fight for you."

Doing a little research and looking up that God himself is daily fighting for us. He hasn't left us! So even the feelings of not being fought for in a relationship with my ex, I know that my God has fought for me! Friends no matter how you are feeling and how bad things are going in your life. Know the Lord is fighting the battle for you. He has never left your side, even if you feel like he has. I know I feel so hopeless at times and then I see God work in an amazing way in my life to remind me he is fighting for me!!! He is fighting for you! In your despair today you have not lost your battle, it is being fought for you right now.

I love that in my darkest days that we serve a God that is fighting for ME and YOU each day! How much hope does that give you? It excites me to fight my next battle. And we are ALL in one. Even when you don't feel others fighting for you and your let down by them. Know you serve a mighty God who will ALWAYS fight for you.

Be encouraged that you are being fought for daily. He is our protector.
