I have never been one to back down from a fight that I felt was necessary, but at times I have been drawn into battles that were not for me to fight. On more occasions than I can recount, just as I was rehearsing my strategy and preparing for battle, the LORD commands me to wait for Him to handle the matter. This is where learning to “stand down” comes into play. At times we must run toward the giant, as did David. But other times, like in the story of King Jehoshaphat, God has us stand down. Instead of his best soldiers, the LORD told him to send singers out front. As they praised God the enemies began destroying one another! Praise brought the victory. O Lord Our Defender, I am Yours. Guide me in battle, grant me good discernment and teach my heart to trust You as Commander In Chief.
