Yesterday, Satan had a field day with my mind. Talk about planting weeds when the LORD has been watering our seed!! I had lots of negative thoughts about myself and myles and generally had a stressful day.
I should have remembered that when I'm under attack that I have to fight with my greatest weapons - prayer, praise, and the word. I didn't realise how stressed I was feeling. I just needed to calm down and put everything aside until it passed over.
It was like I forgot who I was and tried to talk my way out of it and just keep going normally. Instead of doing what I know works for me. Being quiet and letting the LORD talk to me.
I finally clicked and I realised I needed to take time out and hang with the LORD all by myself. So I snapped out of my Homer Simpson moment...D'OH!!
And had a Taliloa moment....HEEEELLLOOOO...this battle belongs to the LORD and he's in complete control of my life!! What are ya!!!
So spent last nite and this morning by myself and my weapons: prayer, praise and the word. These work for me because it put's my world into perspective and I remember who EXACTLY is on my side, and everything suddenly seems insignificant compared to him...the Creator of life, my LORD and King, my Saviour...the LION and the LAMB.
Nothing compares to him and he loves me...little old me...but not only does he love me but he loves me just as I am...he knows all my days...how much i'm going to stuff up...and yet he still loves me. It sets me FREE, I don't have to conform to anyone's image...I can just be me.
He didn't sacrifice himself for some perfect creation worthy of keeping for all eternity. He sacrificed himself for a sinner, someone who always makes mistakes, who is imperfect at loving and being loved, he died on that cross to save me...and all my other imperfect brothers and sisters around the world, in every generation.
He covers me with his love, his strength, his peace, his joy...everything I need...and I am more than a conqueror in him.
