Making War

Well, this has been my first blog in over a year! A lot has happened in a year. Some good things and some bad things. Some sad things and glad things. February/March 2011 has been two of the craziest months of my life! With the emotions and hardships of following Jesus no matter what the costs, has become a true reality in my life. Which brings me to write about what is on my heart.

Making war.

I believe with all my heart that the Christian life is a mean streak! Not mean against other people, races, religions, or cultures, but mean against the overwhelming desire to be mean to others, the desire for things of the world. The desire for sin.

Making War. Making war against our sin. This is what life is about. Our Love for Jesus should always outweigh our desire for earthly things. But lets be REAL for a minute. It is NOT always like that. Im not saying that its ok to be like this, but its just a fact of life that we fall. But the good thing about us falling is that our precious saviour is ALWAYS waiting for us to take his hand so we can get back up.

Do you ever get tired of fighting? Do you ever get weary?

Have you heard the story of King David when he did not want to fight?

2 Samuel 11 tells us that in the Spring when the kings went to war, David did not go. What happened when he stayed and did not want to fight? He fell into an adulterous affair with Bathsheba.

He Did Not Fight.

He fell.

Believe me, God did use this for his glory and restored David. But David fell. When he did not want to fight!

Fight your desire! Remember Jesus is the all satisfying bread of life! John 6:35.

Let Jesus satisfy you, Let the saviour refresh you during your battles against sin.

Declare War.

Godspeed on your walk!
