The Lord fights... provided we allow!
Tuesday, 16th week in the Ordinary Time
Exo 14: 5-18; Mt 12: 46-50
Between the devil and the deep sea... that was literally where Moses found himself. What could he do caught between an army that was like a sea and the sea that was swarming like a devouring army! Moses knew just what he had to do. .. Do what the Lord tells him! Because it was the Lord's battle. The Lord was fighting for them; they had to allow it and Moses did just that. The Lord said walk and he walked, the Lord said stretch and he stretched, the Lord said be still and he stood still drinking in the majesty and the power of God.
Listen to the words of Father and carry it out exactly as said, and you will see the glory of the Lord unfold right in front of yours eyes, declares Jesus. Are we alright with the Lord fighting our battle? Or do we want to fight it ourselves? When the Lord fights the victory is certain but it may involve some challenging moments when we do not make sense of anything that would be happening. But it is the Lord who fights and we will surely triumph.
The Lord is ready and willing; yes the Lord will fight our battle, provided we allow it.
