I woke up with a song in my heart this morning. *fyi it was this is the day that the lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it* Benjamin wasnt as enthused by my singing to him in order to wake him up this morning as I feel he should have been. Nevertheless, I had a great morning and was really feeling uplifted after the wonderful blessings I received last night. Then, being totally predictable, here comes Satan to steal my joy. He chipped and chipped away at me until he thought he had the won the day. I admit, he may have had me dazed for a moment. (or a few moments.. okay fine, hours) I felt like a fighter who just took a punch, but I didnt stay down for long. Luckily, I was reminded that the victory has already been won. *insert Eye of the Tiger here in 80s style pumping up background music.* Satan just showed his hand in this game because now I know that I am on the right track. Otherwise, he wouldnt be working so hard to take me down. I pray that I have the strength to finish this fight but I know in the end the victory belongs to Jesus! Sometimes you just feel too tired to keep fighting but stay the course. While I know who wins the war, I want to make sure that I dont become just a casualty. I am not a casualty! I am a Warrior! Joshua tells us to choose you this day whom ye will serve, and I choose this day to take up my cross and follow Jesus. So many of us are going through something. Sometimes all it takes to wake you back up and remind you that we wrestle not against flesh and blood ( but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.) is for someone to let you know that they too are struggling. We are all in this fight together. We cannot be at war with our sisters or our brothers in Christ. They are not the enemy! If you know that Christ as led you to be where you are, then do not ever let the Devil convince you that you are out of place! He is a liar! He is the chief of liars! Maybe I am unprepared. Maybe I am weak. But I serve I mighty God. He is made perfect in my weakness. *I hope you all will forgive my heavy use of mixed metaphors* Thanks for listening, or reading. I hope this uplifts someone as they read. I hope this gives someone the strength to get up and fight another day. I pray that I will wake up tomorrow with another song in my heart and will hold on to my joy a little better. For tonight, I have a different song in my heart. No turning back youtu.be/P_TGh9-iabM
