Psalm 25:1-3 ”Contend, O Lord, with those who contend
with me; fight against those who fight against me. Take hold of buckler
and shield and rise up for my help. Draw also the spear and the
battle-axe to meet those who pursue me; Say to my soul, ‘I am your salvation.’”
(NASB)
Hello,
The last few days I have been fighting hard. Sounds great
right? Very American of me to fight hard and keep pushing. The problem….I get
tired. I can’t win on my own. I realized that I had been fighting hard – but fighting
by myself on too many things. We have to allow room for God to fight for us. We
must be willing to recognize that we have to slow down or stop and move aside
to let God do that for us. That is hard and often frustrating. We see the
struggle and perhaps can pinpoint part of the issue –so to step back and not
keep pushing. But when we do this, we see how impatient we tend to be. We see
how self-centered we often approach life with…and those things hurt.
Sure, having God fight for us sounds easy…but in the heat of
the battle, it is hard – and sometimes painful to do. But if we want the best
results, we must do it!
Have a blessed day,
