Battle Prep

"O LORD, be gracious to us; we wait for you. Be our arm every morning, our salvation in the time of trouble." Isaiah 33:2

In movies, there's a major emotional and spiritual climax before the battle when the hero says, "Everyone, to arms! Take up your arms and fight!"

To me this is a battle prep kind of verse.

To me this is our daily battle prep verse.

Everyday we should go to God, and ask Him for His grace. Focus ourselves on trusting and waiting on our Father.

But also, recognize that God is The Hero of our stories.

And because He is The Hero of our stories, when we reach those climax moments before our battles, we know that the outcome of the battle is not on our small, weak shoulders.

We can petition The Hero. We can ask Him to take up arms on our behalf. And He will be there in all the battles. With arms.

He will take up arms for us.
