The Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
Deuteronomy 20:4
It’s always a good idea to have a battle plan if you intend to lead an army into war. Moses possessed an incredible plan for the army of Israel, a set of instructions that came straight from the top – the very top! Imagine the confidence a field commander could instill in his troops knowing that he could not lose. Yet that was the kind of guarantee that God gave Moses and the people of Israel.
How astonishing this must have seemed. For at the time God issued His battle plans, the Hebrews hadn’t even settled in their own land, let alone set up a line of defense. Furthermore, the Lord guaranteed His people that they would face military forces far more formidable than their own. Yet God assured them they had nothing to fear – as long as they remembered that He remained with them always, as He had since the day they left Egypt.
Leaders today can bank on the same promise that gave Moses such courage: “The Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.” And so God gives us the same encouragement that he gave to Moses, “Do not be afraid.”
