How do we know God battles for His people?

In Exodus 14:17-18, God proclaims that He will harden the hearts of the Egyptians to pursue Israel, demonstrating that He orchestrates events for His glory. This assured defense highlights that the battle belongs to the Lord and that He actively works to protect and deliver His people from their enemies. The narrative illustrates that God consumes the enemies of His people, not leaving room for their victory. By arranging circumstances so that Israel’s foes were overwhelmed, God affirms His role as both protector and savior, emphasizing the necessity of His intervention in confronting our adversaries.
