God with you


When you go out to war against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, you shall not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 20:1

In ancient warfare
Israel fought
armies bigger than
there ought
to be arrayed agains them
but God was with them

They exited an empire
having been enslaved
and what they knew
that God still saved
… He marched them out
carrying treasures from Egypt

The God Who ended Egypt
proved He still cared
and a new generation
still shared
in His covenantal grace
God would keep them

No matter the horses, chariots
or army size
God’s people knew
they were in God’s eyes
trusting the God Who delivers
“The LORD you God is with you.”

God sent His Son
to defeat hell
Jesus, Savior,
Emmanuel
over sin and death He has conquered
living now, “God is with us”
