We win with Him!

Spiritual Warfare

Some believe, some don’t. Everyone has a different opinion and reason for the things that happen to them in life. Is it just life and the circumstances that you are dealt or is it something that you can handle be molded and shaped through?

But really when it boils down to it what can you do?

Each day we are faced with choice after choice. Decision after decision. Are we going to be proficient at work or not? Are we going to send the email or not? Are we going to kill people with kindness and turn the other cheek or not? Where we show our colors is how we respond to situations to decisions to circumstances that are not the way that we want them to be. Do we find joy in the middle of it all? Is there pain? What are we supposed to do?

The answer to these questions run through my head way more often then I want to admit. Constantly drifting from one scenario of life to another to plan and prepare, my "think ahead meter" is constantly on overdrive.

This is not good. For my mental capacity I forget to take time to breath to be, to soak it all in and when I actually do I wake up and it is another day later, another day older and many times a missed opportunity that if I took the time I could kick myself over and over again for missing.

Yes all of this is a regular occurrence in my brain, and people wonder where my mind is a points to be honest it is on things that have been, could be, or will never happen.

So in the midst of it all how do we find peace.

·      Be STILL and KNOW that I am God.

·      TASTE and SEE that the Lord is good.

·      HE LEADS me beside still waters.

·      The LORD has a PLAN for you, a hope, a future.

These things ring true when I take the time to think about the scriptures. I feel comforted by these passages with the hope that there is Hope. I am comforted with enough faith to believe that there is Faith. However, sometimes I think my brain wants to believe in the un belief. In these moments I feel the war. I feel the desperation for help and the reality that we can not do this alone. These brief moments for me I know are long for some, and even longer for others. I do not negate your season. I know though that I choose daily the actions that will direct the course of the day. Will I be stressed, will I worry, will I turn it over? Some of those decisions driven by impact on others but most driven by the impact God has on me. May your impact be reminded when it needs to be that you are in a battle and the awesome and amazing part is we WIN! We know the outcome and this middle ground junk that gets thrown at us sometimes is just that, middle ground junk. We are on a journey and the end of the race is well worth the scrapes on the way.

Many thoughts and prayers.
