As I sit here, I feel like life is trying to beat me down. The key word is trying, I know that the battles in this word are not natural but spiritual. The word says in Ephesians 6:12 (AMP)"For our struggles are not against flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this (present) darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places. Knowing this I realize that I have to stay thankful and grateful for all that God has done and is doing in my life. I have to put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:13-17). While life is trying to beat me down, I continue to be faithful. Galatians 6:9 states that we should not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in. This is really hard when you are doing the right thing, and it seems as if the walls are closing in on you. I remind myself that God will never leave me or forsake me, I remind myself that no matter what I see that God is working things out for my good. I remind myself that my faith is bigger than anything that I am facing and that if it's not good God isn't done. I remind myself that God has a plan for my life plans to prosper me and not harm me, plans to give me a hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). Like a palm tree in the midst of a storm I may get tossed and turned but I won't break. I stand firm on the Word of God.
