No Competition
“The valiant lie plundered, they sleep their last sleep; not one of the warriors can lift his hands. At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both horse and chariot lie still.” - Psalm 76:5-6
Have you ever worried about whether God’s plans would work for you? Maybe God gave you clarity about what He wants you to do. He revealed Himself to you and gave you such clarity about your purpose.
And at first that got you excited. You were jubilant thinking about the ways God was going to use you. But then you became afraid. You started thinking about those who would oppose you, those that might keep God’s plans from actually happening for you.
There is no competition when God is on your side. No matter who tries to oppose you, He will take care of them and remove them from your path. He does this time and time again throughout Scripture.
Psalm 76:5-6 says, “The valiant lie plundered, they sleep their last sleep; not one of the warriors can lift his hands. At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both horse and chariot lie still.”
What God sets in motion, no one can stop, not the devil or any man. Anyone who attempts to oppose God will not only fail but be removed entirely. The Lord has no competition, and that means that when you are obedient to His plan, you have no competition.
So why are you still worried? What is holding you back? It certainly isn’t competition, because when you are obedient, God will take care of your enemies. No enemy standing against you will ever succeed. That is a promise from God.
It’s time to step out in obedience and recognize that you when you follow God’s plan, you will walk unopposed. At first glance, it may look like they are winning the battle, but God will show you that he has the power to win the war. When God is on your side, nothing stands in your way.
