Promise 63 from Exodus 23:31c.

Ex. 23:31c. - "For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out before you." - It would be much easier if God, in His mighty power, would just smite our enemies or just remove the difficulties in our lives from us. Many people are apt to blame God for not using His power in efforts to spare us or others from our pain. In blaming Him, many turn away from Him. God says that He will put our enemies, and I want to add, life's difficulties, into our hands so that we can drive them out. He empowers us to take care of the problem ourselves, not through our own strength but His. He gives us the authority to deal with the difficulties. Are we going to allow the enemies of our hearts and mind destroy us, even though they have been handed over to us? The enemy has worn us down to passivity through the years, its time to stand up and take our spiritual place as children of the Almighty God and be aggressive toward the enemy of death, deceit and destruction. Its time to stand up and re-claim territory that has been stolen from us in our lives, time to fight for our peace, joy and control over those things that attack us. They are in your hands, let the power of God move through you today!
