Greeting Men of God....
Getting this posted a bit late...
Crazy, bus morning.
Just one of the Battles We Face.
But what about that.... the battles we face?
There are many... and they take different forms.
Maybe it's a secret sin.... a fear.... guilt... low self-esteem.... feeling accepted.... feeling loved.... the list can be long.
Maybe a mind-game... confusion... doubt.... being unorganized or prideful.
Maybe just being in the world even though we are not OF the world (John 15:19)
If you're like me, you fight to get these things out of our lives... or at least under control.... And that can be exhausting.
James 1:2-8 says we should ... count it all joy when we fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience (endurance, perseverance). But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect (mature) and complete, lacking nothing.
In John 16:33 Jesus reminds us that in Him we will have peace... even though in the "world" we will have trouble, but we should be in good cheer as we know, and I believe can partake in the truth, that He has overcome the world.
As we yield to God, and resist conforming to the world, our minds are renewed to the truth allowing us to also overcome the world.
Think about it.
Strength and Honor, but Only for His Glory,
MDN Coach Dennis Labriola
