God often orchestrates the battles we face in such a way that we can’t possibly win without His help. Why? Because it’s in and through these battles that He gets the glory. Scripture tells us that we’re to march on the gates of hell to pull people out if we need to — but we can’t do that without Him.

The armies of the Old Testament waited for God’s leading before they went into battle. So why do we often seem to think we can go into the fight without Him? When we wait on God, He fights our battles for us and we become conquerors in Him. When we follow His lead, there’s nothing we can’t overcome!
