It's a battlefield, not a bed of roses...that was a line from today's devotional. Hits home with me. I want things to go smoothly, I don't want to fight my way through life. But between this devotional and a message I recently heard, I'm remembering that we are at war with the enemy. He is trying to destroy us. Everyday. All the time. He doesn't let up.
So if he doesn't let up, neither should we. And thankfully, we aren't in this alone. God is always there, giving us what we need to do our part. Then He handles the rest!
In the message I heard, the speaker said that quoting scripture out loud is the surefire way to put angels in motion on our behalf. I want to remember that because I want all the support on my side that I can get. It prods me to memorize more scripture so I can bring it to mind when I need it most.
God has also provided me fellow soldiers to help me along the way. With this new job came a new teaching assistant. I have only been around her a handful of times, but I believe her to be an upstanding person of God. She has dealt with a special needs child too, faced her share of losses, and is still smiling and cracking jokes. She has been described by everyone as "kind and sweet". What a fantastic lady to spend each day with.
Thank you God for sending a message through speakers, devotionals, and fellow soldiers. Thank you for preparing us for the battle...and arming us with the knowledge that Your army WINS!!
