Psalm 96:2-3 (NKJV) 2 Sing to the Lord, bless His name; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. 3 Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.
When I Woke up today, I was all over the place with my thoughts.
Does that happen to you? I mean really, first thing in the morning it has to start? I have to fight to keep peace and keep my mind under control.
It can be tiring and can wear me out before my day even begins.
2 Corinthians 10:5 (NKJV) 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
Welcome to spiritual warfare.
We are at war, brothers and sisters in Christ, every day, trying to keep our thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ.
Of course, some days seem to be harder than others.
Do you feel the battle raging more than ever before?
It’s real. We are fighting to keep our relationship and our closeness with God. The enemy would love to stick a wedge between us so he can pry us apart.
That is the war we are in, my brothers and sisters, to hold onto God and keep that closeness tight. No space in between.
One thing that helps me the most is starting my day with praise and prayer. I know it’s hard to do some days when we are under constant attack.
Our thoughts are everywhere, connected to everything; even things that are not for us to be concerned about. The way the enemy gets us is by trying to make us fearful.
The way to resist the enemy when we are in a place like this is to proclaim the good news. Declare God’s glory and wonders among all. Sing and pray. Don’t let fear grip our mind. keep our mind soundly on Him, and keep going.
2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
