If the battle belongs to the Lord as I Samuel 17:47 teaches, then we need to be on our knees. We will only consistently take advantage of the Lord's desire to be attentive to our prayers, if our hearts are in a healthy faith posture. Jeremiah 33:3, "Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know (NASB)."
One of the needs that you and I will face in the coming years is an increased evil opposition. The battle will at times be intense. Following Christ will come at a cost, and there will be battle scars and difficulties to endure along the way. Your faith will stay strong if you navigate these trials with a prayerful and a thankful mindset. God will provide strength and courage along the way. As we experience the provisions of God in the midst of a battle we need to remember to be thankful. The Thanksgiving holiday is a great time to be intentional in sharing with others the good things God has provided for you and your family. What a good and gracious God we serve, and it's an honor to yield control of our lives over to him.
WHAT TO EXPECT SUNDAY
