The battle at times can be a mellow rain on the horizon or a full blown storm. From month to month, day to day, or even moment to moment that battle can peak into a devastating hurricane than just as quickly dissolve into just a few drops of rain.
Here are a few passages that have helped put things in perspective for me. I pray those that read this blog will feel empowered by these also.
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 (NIV)
I do not claim to have it all together and I will continue to have set backs, but one thing I do have is God and His promises.
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. “All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish. Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them. Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all. For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:10-13 (NIV)I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13 (NIV)
In His Grace,

ReplyDeleteThe key is like you said, "rely on Him instead of something else."
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the Bible verses. My fav is Philippian 4:13 :)
Regardless of our types of battle, you described them perfectly. Sometimes they are barely there, and sometimes a full blown attack. His Word, though, is enough to get us through. Thank you for sharing!
