When King David heard that enemies were coming out to fight, he sent Joab to meet them (10:7). As Joab is preparing for battle, he says this:

“Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the Lord do what is good in His sight.” (10:12)

As we are preparing ourselves for some kind of battle, we need to remember that God is in control. How He handles the situation can be different every time. Sometimes there is no fight, and the enemy flees, as the case was for Joab and his men that day (10:13). We just need to stay strong and have faith that God is well able to handle any situation we may encounter. God may not do what we expect but we can expect Him to do what is right for.
