"....This is a decree (Hebrew: 'law') for Israel, an ordinance (Hebrew: 'statute,' something owed, prescribed') of the God of Jacob. When God went out against Egypt, he established it as a statute (Hebrew: 'testimony') for Joseph." (Psalm 81:4, 5-NIV)
Apparently there is a Law-Principle here for you and me in our life's pilgrimage. Our Lord Jesus Christ "went out against Egypt...," even before we "go out." Yes, we all know the Ephesians 6 passage which tells us that we, "wrestle against...." But our, "against," is nothing, it's fruitless, powerless, for naught without, "God went out against...."
Today most of us did our, "went out," already. But so did, does, and will continue to our Lord Jesus Christ. If I did not have the confidence that Jesus already, "went out against Egypt," I certainly would not.
What comfort today that our going out into life's uncertainties, which is all of life, because no one knows what the next second will bring, let alone a day, month or year, is "covered" by, "the Blood of the Lamb," Jesus. Never think when you are "in a fight" that you started it; you didn't. Jesus did. He is the Consummate, "....went out against...."
Father, in Jesus' Name, I am glad when I "go out," You have already. Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
