Tues Devo: Keep fighting...

Hello,

I am sure you have been there. Things are not quite going right, and at the same time things are happening fast all around. You feel like if you could just stop time for 2 hours you could reset a little bit, figure a couple things out, get back on track with your prayer time and then hit the ground running again. But you can’t stop time…so you keep paddling, but it feels up stream, so you stop paddling and just float. It feels silly because on the outside things look ok to everyone else…but you know on the inside you aren’t where you are supposed to be. But if you stop for some time, then things may fall apart on the outside too – so you keep up the outside appearance at the cost of rectifying what needs to happen on the inside.

I encourage you if this is you today to not do that! Don’t let the inside suffer. Start to find small wins as you move. Take things one bit at a time and get them where they need to be. If the outside isn’t reality, it is just more stress to make that seem real than to actually stop and get real. Take that time. Start with prayer and ask God to help you prioritize where to make adjustments. It won’t happen overnight, but listening to Him for His priorities of change will get you there!

Have a blessed day,

1 Timothy 1:18-19 “This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you fight the good fight, keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.” (NASB)
Luke 6:12-13 “It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer to God. And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them whom He named as apostles.” (NASB)
