The Mightiest Warrior
If you have to go to war, you may find yourselves facing an enemy army that is bigger than yours and that has horses and chariots. But don’t be afraid! The Lord your God rescued you from Egypt, and he will help you fight.
Deuteronomy 20:1 (CEV)
Have you noticed that in every good story or movie, there’s a point where all hope seems lost? The bad guy is winning, and the good guy is about to lose it all!
This world can feel that way many times. You might think it’s hopeless and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop evil—to stop bad people from succeeding or terrible things from happening.
But God can defeat the evil . . . and he will. He has the power to do this! This is the God who can defeat whole armies. There’s no escaping him. In today’s verse, God’s people were told not to be afraid of any army coming against them. In the same way, we don’t have to be afraid. Someday, God will wipe out everything wicked and wrong in the world.
So, when you feel like the bad guys might win in your life, remember that life’s movie isn’t over yet. When you put your hope in the mightiest warrior, God, then you know in the end, he will win. You can count on him to help you through all the battles until then.
SPIRITUAL FITNESS TRAINING
Today’s devotional reminds you that God is your mighty warrior, and he will defeat all the evil in the world. He is the one who can do it. Just for fun, write your own movie script. Without reading all of the below paragraphs first, only look at the blank lines and then fill in the spaces on a piece of paper as assigned. Once complete, read the entire story out loud. Did your movie have a happy ending? (And did it crack you up?!)
One day the magical land of __________(dessert)_________ was invaded by
giant, scary _____(vegetable(s))_____ . Oh no! The people tried to hold them
back, but they were doing the ______(dance move)_______ around them.
The people shot _____(candy)______ at the enemies, but the hot sun melted
their sweet ammunition. Finally, a huge _______(animal)______ came
and happily ate the vegetables, one by one, until they were all gone. The
magical land was saved, and the people cheered in celebration!
PRAY
Lord, it can look pretty dark here some days. But I know you will win over evil. Thank you!
