Psalms 91:1 NLT
We all need to find rest, peace, solace in the Lord - in these days
where it seems the storms of the world like to rattle and sound off and
bring rushing flood waters of against our ramparts. Arrow after
arrow... Threat after threat. Loss and pain and struggle.
We understand the fatigue of spiritual warfare against our soul. But I find this fatigue is not in vain, it is a sign- for we find out how strongly we hold on to this life more then our continual submission to God.
We remember though we walk through this world we are no longer of it. Though we walk through the darkest valley we are not afraid and we should not lose heart-for God is with us and he protects and comforts us. We remember it is the Lord's battle, not our battle. We remember where we stand and we take solace in knowing this Rock will not fail.
And we realize this is not true for those still lost in this world and a pity and a compassion comes forth. We make an effort to reach out to those passing by in those dirty rushing flood waters. We stick out our hand and say "take my hand!" Some ignore but some do take up the offer and the Lord helps us pluck them out of the torrent.
Some after hearing the truth accept the life changing/saving message of Jesus Christ and some slip right back into the perilous flood waters always remaining a victim instead of realizing and finding what is a victor.
We must live life from a victor state of mind not a victim state of mind. For if God is for us who can be against us? Who can separate us from God's love?
For victory has been already won...
So if you are experiencing battle fatigue or living as a victim instead of a victor come find rest and peace and solace in the shadow of the Almighty.
