Exodus 14:13-14 English Standard Version (ESV)

13 And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”

Psalm 119:71 English Standard Version (ESV)

71 It is good for me that I was afflicted,

    that I might learn your statutes.

I've become so enamored of the truth that the battle is the Lord's that I'm forgetting that I belong on the battlefield as well.  I am a warrior not just a cheerleader.  I have my orders, I have my commission, I have my commander, so why so passive, why so silent?   Illness and age are no excuse when my power is from God himself.  So I'll stay in the fight.  

2 Corinthians 10:4 English Standard Version (ESV)

4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.
