Ever felt like you are left to fend for yourself in the face of evil? When circumstances are so daunting & you have drawn your sword ready for battle but you don’t know if you can or can’t do so. There is a risk of wining or losing, of walking away hurt or harmed.
I was watching the Chronicles of Narnia tonight & it was the scene where Peter was battling the wolves. Everyone else, Azlan included cake running up to aid him but Azlan said to the rest of the army “Stop, wait, this is Peter’s battle”.
I realised then that as Azlan is a portrayal of God, God too does that sometimes; not because He wants to see us hurt but He knows that our confidence & strength is renewed in His presence & also of the backing of an army who are there to lift & battle when we falter.
The victory of the battle too makes us stronger, builds our confidence & allows us to discover our identity – just as when Peter succeeded, he was knighted & his name was changed. His identity confirmed & concreted to be a foundation upon which his next battle can be built upon.
