The battle belongs to the Lord.

The declaration "The battle belongs to the Lord" is a profound statement of faith, surrendering control and trusting in God's supreme power and sovereignty. It is a truth that brings immense peace and courage.

Here is a poetic reflection on this powerful promise.

---

The Battle Belongs to the Lord

The giant stands, a terrifying sight,

My own small strength cannot win the fight.

The army advances,a sea of dread,

And fearful whispers fill my head.

But then a truth, a solid rock,

Comes to confront my fearful shock.

A word not born of my own mind,

A promise for all of humankind.

The battle belongs to the Lord.

It is not mine to win or lose,

By my own power or skill to choose.

My role is not to seize the sword,

But to trust the promise of the Lord.

My part is faith, my part is prayer,

To stand upon His promise there.

To put His armor on,and then,

To watch Him fight and win again.

So I will be still, and see His salvation,

And rest upon this firm foundation.

Or I will step out with a stone,

And watch Him win from His high throne.

For every foe, and every fear,

His victory is ever near.

The spiritual force,the anxious thought,

The battle that my soul has fought—

It all belongs to Him.

The conflict and the victor's hymn.

So I will rest and I will sing,

My God is the Warrior-King.

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."

— Exodus 14:14

"For the battle is the Lord's..."

— 1 Samuel 17:47
