My God Fights for Me
I was just a shepherd boy without a shield, without a sword
fed up by the giant’s voice screaming curses to the Lord
I walked down that hill alone with a pocket full of river stones
But what that Philistine couldn’t see Is what I had was more than me
On my own I’m weak, but my God fights for me!

I love music. I’m usually listening to music when I’m cleaning, relaxing, or driving. However, don’t ask me to name my favorite artist or song. If you ask my husband, he’d tell you, It all depends on the mood she’s in.” He’s heard that since we were dating. It’s true. When a song moves me I listen to it on repeat. At this moment, one of the songs I have on my playlist is, the above song, My God Fights for Me. The song has such an inspiring message that I find myself singing it often. It never fails to encourage me because it reminds me of how God always fights for His children.
For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory. Deuteronomy 20:4 (NIV)
Sometimes life gets messy and difficult. There are periods when you don’t understand exactly what is going on and It seems as if God is silent while you’re going through your trials. However, we can find encouragement and inspiration in the stories of David, Daniel and many more. Their stories are reminders that, even when we can’t see Him, or feel Him our God fights for us.
The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Exodus 14:14
May you find as much encouragement in this song as I did.
Looking back over my past, I see He interceded many times when I didn’t know about it until much later. Praise God for his work on our behalf. A good reminder, Bernadine.
Wow, what a powerful song, Bernadine. Music is also a huge part of my life.
I am thankful that our God fights for us.
