I have been rattled by my thoughts the last few days, like a kitten in a ball of yarn the more I fussed about the bigger tangled mess it all became and I was trapped in the middle. While it has been amazing to see the reach of my writing it has also been overwhelming. I am not a writer and I had no aspirations of writing in a public setting. I answered a call, stepped out in faith, knowing the goodness of God, and trusting the plan even if I could not see it. Then time passed and doubt crept in. Has that ever happened to you?
I devoted some extra time yesterday to stillness and prayer which was much needed. This morning I feel a peace that can only be found through Jesus, my heart is at rest, my mind is calm, and I remember the battle cry when I first started sharing my writing. I was hesitant, scared, and felt unprepared but I was obedient.
ALL IN GOD
We were not created to snuggle in cozy cocoons of comfort. We were created to be mighty warriors for Jesus. Boots on the ground against the schemes of an enemy. To use our skills to serve our King.
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:12 NKJV
Be fortified, knowing that our Heavenly Father has a plan, a plan so magnificent we are unable to comprehend this side of Heaven. What has God called you to do? Are you doing it?
Lord, you do not demand perfection, so why do I? Forgive me, God. Thank you for your kindness, grace and mercy poured out so freely on me. When I drift off course and get tangled in my thoughts and anxiety please remind me of my battle cry, all in God. Remind me of my purpose, my strength through you, and fortify me. You God are in control, nothing surprises you, nothing is unknown, you know how this story ends. All the glory to God.
-Amen
