DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.B. Simpson emphasizes that the battle belongs to God, urging believers
to relinquish their fears and responsibilities to Him. He reassures that
as God's representatives, we can trust in His protection and provision,
just as an employer is responsible for their employee's well-being. By
placing our lives and families in God's hands, we can experience relief
and security, knowing He will care for us. Simpson encourages believers
to stand firm in faith, relying on God's strength rather than their own,
as He guarantees our triumph.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The thing is to count the battle God's. The battle is not yours but
God's. We shall not need to fight in this battle. As long as we count
our dangers and responsibilities, we shall be distracted with fear. But
when we realize God is bound to take care of us as His property and His
representatives, we shall feel infinite relief and security. If I send
my employee on a long journey, I am responsible for his expenses and
protection; if God sends me anywhere, He is responsible. If we belong to
God and put our life, our family, and our all in His hands, we may know
He will take care of us.

If our body belongs to God, it is His interest to keep us well, just as
much as it is for the interest of the shepherd to have his sheep well
fed, well cared for and a credit to him.

Thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph (2 Corinthians
2:14). Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Stand in His strength alone; The
arm of flesh will fail you, Ye dare not trust your own.
