We are living in a world where there is never-ending conflict.
The very thing that we are trying so hard to overcome, seems to keep rising up like an ugly monster and raging against us all.
Why are we not able to live in peace? Why are we always so willing to go to war – even if it’s just a war of words.
When its personal, its close. Its defining. Its undeniable.
Relationship changes lives!
It is not about knowledge. It is not about attendance or the works. It’s all about relationship.
The personal wars and battles that we face today are no less important to God. God uses the same power and the same spirit to overcome the enemy. Warfare is warfare – whether its physical or spiritual.
So often, we worry about things that are way beyond our control.
But, if we really want to overcome our worries and burdens we need to become warriors.
That’s right!
Not worriers BUT warriors.
My heart had been changed through no effort of my own.
Only a Gods of love can do this. He also gave me an incredible faith-building prayer time that reminded me that God is in control. He is the one who does the work.
All we need to do is pray and trust and stay in relationship with Him.
It feels like a distant memory – the times when we used to start a New Year with renewed Hope and Energy and Enthusiasm. Don’t get me wrong. I love my life. I am still filled with joy! But there is just so much uncertainty.
Yes, things in this world might get crazy but God is the constant. God is the one that never changes. He never gets frantic. He never panics.
He always listens and he always leads.
We need to learn to trust and rest and then go with the flow.
