Don’t underestimate him. He is cunning and always on the lookout. Today, he found me in a weak spot. I haven’t been making time with God a priority this week, and he used that against me. Some things happened today that he turned around and had an absolute field day with in my heart and mind. He began showing me glimpses of how my life would be if I chose not to go on the race. I saw how comfortable and easy it would be.
I became angry and confused. “God, why me? Why do I have to do this?” His response was swift and short: “Because I love you.” How can I argue with that? It was then I placed it completely in his hands, because I’m not strong enough to handle this. I can’t do it on my own.
There’s a video by Jeff Bethke that I love titled ‘Darkness is Losing’. In the video Jeff tells the Prince of Darkness that he riding a sinking ship because our King has risen. My King has already won this war. I don’t have to fight this. When I face temptation that seems overwhelming, I scream this at the Prince of Darkness.
I’m afraid this is the first of the many battles I will wage with The Darkness in my WR journey. I’m so thankful for the many friends and family I have around me that are equipped to fight this with me.
Today the Kingdom won.
