Beautiful Battlefields Book

My devotions this week has really "hit home" as they say. I am doing a Bible study on the book of Esther. Along with that I am reading a chapter every day in the book Beautiful Battlefields. They both this week covered the same topic...letting go and letting God.

Here are some of the wonderful thoughts I had this week:


     "We don't always know and see God's plan until we look backwards to find it."

     "God is for us. He is for our growth, our joy, our success, and our maturity, and He will use every struggle we face as the delivery agents for His most remarkable gifts."

     "God goes before me, so I never go anywhere first. He already knows where the days will lead and how the battle will turn out, and He has placed all the supplies we will need along the way."

     God says to us, "I have already been to every minute you will ever face. I have been to your future and back, and I have built provision in every minute where you will need it. You won't see it now, but it will be there when you get there."

     "Trusting God is difficult because most often the provision we need is not packed in a suitcase that is handed to us when we arrive on the battlefield. Instead, He has given us everything we will ever need in His promise that He has gone before us."

     As far as the Israelites go, God chose to feed them day by day, giving them 365 opportunities to trust Him...rather than giving it to them all at once.

     We need to learn to trust God..."that the pages of our story have been written by the One who loves us deeply and that no other pen can alter His plan."


I love how God gives you what you need on a daily basis. I needed these devotionals this week. Praise God!!!
