Where is your war?
Maybe you aren’t battling anything today. Congratulations! Enjoy! Bask in it with thankfulness, but don’t let down your guard.
I’m not at liberty to share the details of the battle waging in my life this week, but there is one. Yet, as I prayed this morning, I believe God led me straight to this passage and to the word stronghold.
Strongholds are anything that keeps us or the people we love from God.
Strongholds are sneaky. They appear harmless. They are found in our thoughts.
Some are big. Some are small, but no matter the size, they have the same end. They “argue against God.” They become gods in our lives. They run our lives.
If we think we can’t be satisfied or live without something it has become a stronghold.
Not the most uplifting and encouraging message this morning, but it is important.
I’m putting my armor on today. It might get messy, but the verse above promises victory. I’m waging war with the love and promises of Christ.
Much love and peace,
andy
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes you maybe able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand (Eph. 6:13).
