As I struggle to get through the day…one labored breath at a time…a war is waged against my very soul…some would call it cosmic…some would say it’s spiritual…
there are things that happen daily…that leads me to believe my soul is at stake…it is hard sometimes to recognize the enemy…
among the other factors that try to shape who I am…if it were easy…it wouldn’t be called a war…
A war is waged every day…between my flesh and my spirit…with every choice…a battle of the will…is it possible to be trained to win…to recognize these in advance…
to be prepared for opposition…in the heat of the battle…it is hard for me to remember the truth…my soul is longing for…a
s I learn what God wants…it will become evident that I am in a battle…each and every day…
On the cross…a war was waged on death…conquered by the blood of Jesus…even though my sin was unacceptable…the day that we call the resurrection…
made me acceptable and pure…what a freeing feeling to know God had won…the battle for me…I just have to trust that my God knows best for me…
God has already won the biggest battle already…
My sin was like a ball and chain…and I know that it was keeping me from seeing truth…as a follower of Christ…my bonds were broken…my ransom paid in full…
on Calvary’s tree…my sin was crucified with Christ…and my spirit was resurrected with my Savior…a battle for sure…one that I had no chance of winning on my own…
not only did I not have to fight…but I was given life eternal…through His sacrifice for me…
