A weekday morning devotional series written by Aaron Marcarelli and hosted by Chad McBeam
“Stop striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on the earth.” The Lord of armies is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah”
Psalms 46:10-11 NASB2020
He is The God of Jacob, the Great I AM! Yes God’s army fights with us, but make no mistake His Army fights for Him for His will and for His purpose. The perfect example of who God’s Army fights for is in Joshua;
“Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?” “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord have for his servant?” The commander of the Lord’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.”
Joshua 5:13-15 NIV
Reverence to God, humble ourselves and know His word. That is how we know God’s will, that is how we know God’s army is fighting with us. Remember in Exodus Joshua imitated Moses, he watched and learned from Moses. In his worship, in his prayer life, he sought God’s will by humbling Himself. Joshua also saw the mistakes Moses made and therefore new that it was not about what Moses wanted or what Joshua wanted it was about what God wanted.
Seek God, follow the Shemah and love others, and share the gospel message; Christ died to save us from eternal damnation, Christ rose from the dead to conquer death so that we may have eternal life with Him. That is how we know God’s army is on our side.
Here is another great song this one by Elevation worship. This song has become one of my anthems serving God.

Lord thank you for your perfect love. Thank you for your incredible gift of salvation and eternal life with you. Help us Lord to humble ourselves and seek your will. Help us to love you with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love others as you have loved us. Thank you that when we seek you and humble ourselves and know and do your will your army fights with us.
