The Battle Belongs to the Lord

Sometimes the battle can seem overwhelming.

If you're in the midst of serious warfare, you know the feeling. Sometimes you hit a point where you know the battle is raging, but you're not quite sure what the battle is for. You can see if things go one way a victory of one sort; another direction would be a victory of a different sort. All you know is the enemy is pressing in hard, you desire the glory of God and His victory - and maybe that's all you can discern.

Maybe you don't even know how to pray or what, specifically, the fight is about.

Take heart. You are not alone. Such is the challenge of many who enter spiritual battles. But the awesome truth is that we don't have to figure this out! The fact is, the battle belongs to the Lord.

As I prayed tonight I sensed the need to post this song and words to the blog. It's a simple version, but one that focuses on the Victor. Thanks to YouTube for allowing posting on the blog.

May you be richly blessed to remember in the depth of your battle, that you don't have to have the answers or know what form victory will take.

You just have to be under the standard He has raised up. The battle belongs to the Lord.

In heavenly armor we'll enter the land
The battle belongs to the Lord
No weapon that's fashioned against us will stand
The battle belongs to the Lord

We sing glory honor, power and strength to the Lord (2x)

When the powers of darkness come in like a flood,
The battle belongs to the Lord
He's raised up a standard the power of His blood
the battle belongs to the Lord

When the enemy presses in hard do not fear
The battle belongs to the Lord
Take courage my friend your redemption is near
The battle belongs to the Lord
