I’m like…
So I’ve had that thing on my mind lately that no one likes to talk about: money. As I’ve been preparing for the World Race, I’ve gone through a lot of obstacles, but one that is constantly in front of me is this issue of dinero (I’m spending 3 months in Spanish speaking countries, figured I should practice it somehow :). I keep thinking, how in the world am I going to raise $15,500 for this trip? I’m one of those people who likes to have things planned out, and yet this is something I can’t control, not even a little bit.
But God’s like…
As I was having all of these feelings of worry and anxiousness, God laid a passage on my heart. In 2 Chronicles 20, the Israelites were about to go to battle against a large group of people known as the Moabites, Ammonites, and the Meunites. The Israelites were crazily outnumbered (the odds were not in their favor – Hunger Games reference anyone?), and logically it seemed impossible for them to win the battle. Jehoshaphat (the king of Judah at the time) prayed for Israel, and God answered him with this: "Thus says the Lord to you, ‘Do not fear or be dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours but God’s." {2 Chronicles 20:15} Yea, you heard that right. It was God’s battle! I love looking at this passage when things seem impossible (like raising $15,500), but I know that this battle is not mine, but my Father’s!
