Deuteronomy 3:22 (ESV)
You shall not fear them, for it is the Lord your God who
fights for you.
On October 31st, 1917, six hundred soldiers of the
Australian 4th and 12th Light Horse Brigade, under the command of Brigadier
General William Grant, led a daring attack against the Ottoman army in
Beersheva. Armed with only horses and bayonets they charged the deeply
entrenched Ottoman army. As machine guns fired, and men and horses were dying,
the Lighthorsemen dug in their spurs and continued to press forward to victory.
The bewildered enemy failed to adjust their gun sights and their fire began
passing harmlessly over the heads of the horsemen, who then quickly overran the
Ottoman army utterly defeating them in less than an hour. Historians describe
this remarkable battle as the last successful cavalry charge in history.
Sometimes the warfare against us seems overwhelming. We
feel inadequately armed, outgunned, and too weak to attack. But fighting with
the Lord on our side we do have the weapons we need to achieve the victory! And
amazingly, some battles can be won far quicker than we think. We need only
press forward and put our trust in Him. A man with God at his side is an army,
undefeatable!
Let's be courageous as we press forward for the Kingdom
today!
Dear Lord, we thank You that You are in control of
everything help us to put our trust in You for all things. In the Name of
Jesus, Amen.
