#FIVE
“I’ll be at your locker after school. I got your back. I’m not going to let them jump you. I promise. I’ll be there.” These were the words I told my friend when a few girls at our school wanted to fight her. I didn’t go to her locker after school. I went home. She was disappointed in me. Really disappointed. The truth is…I didn’t want to be involved. It was her battle. I didn’t want to fight for her.
If I could go back and have a conversation with my 13-year-old self, I would tell her that God is the only one she needs to fight her battles. Although it’s nice to have friends, God is the most important friend she’ll ever have. I would tell her that even her best friend is going to disappoint her and let her down. It’s not her fault. She’s imperfect. It’s a result of sin. And I would remind her that even when her friend is not at her locker after school, God will be there and ready to fight for her.
Truth #5
GOD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU
“One of your men puts to flight a thousand, for the LORD your God is He who fights for you, just as He promised you.” (Joshua 23:10 NASB)
