Historian Shelby Foote tells of a soldier who was wounded at the battle of Shiloh during the American Civil War and was ordered to go to the rear. The fighting was fierce and within minutes he returned to his commanding officer. "Captain, give me a gun!" he shouted.. "This fight ain't got any rear!" 

Dear Family, this young soldiers statement rings true for each and every one of us today; ‌there is no rear in our battle.‍ I know that at times it feels that the enemy has surrounded us and the battle is as good as lost. But do your remember how a servant s eyes were opened to the reality of the battle. He saw that God s army was poised to fight and win. Faithful men throughout history have said words of truth, ‌For the Lord our God will fight for us.‍ There is no way that you and I can fight these spiritual battles alone. If we try, we die. The only way to win is to look to the Lord, and know with all assurance that He will fight for us, and He will win. Look up and see the power of God as He defeats the enemy that presses in on you each and every day. When God wins, you win.
