It's so easy to see when things don't go our way as a failure.  No one likes failing.  None of us like being humbled and waiting for God's timing and ways.  It's hard.  In Judges 20 the Israelites show us a powerful process to victory even when things in the natural looked as though they were failing and losing a battle.

They asked the Lord what He would have them to do- "Fight"

Two times they did as they Lord instructed and in all terms of the natural it looked like failure, felt like defeat.

The third time they went to the Lord- they fasted, prayed, and worshipped.  The word remained the same as the two previous times,  but this time He would hand the tribe of Benjamin over.

If you are in a moment or season where it feels like failure or you are questioning that you heard God wrong, ask again.  Wait.  And as soon as you hear the directive, go- you never know what victory obedience will lead to!  God causes all things to work for good!  I'm cheering you on.

Stay Focused. Keep Fighting.
