Good morning to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you.
What a crazy day we had yesterday … but in a positive way. A really positive way. A long-time friend told me that they prayed for the first time and that they wanted the peace that I had. I broke all the rules that I taught my children and met someone from the internet … at a candy store no less. Haha. From that meeting, I believe that I have a new friend. I met their children, and we had a good time. The drive to and from the meeting place was gorgeous. When we got home, the gas can DID NOT leak on me this time for the mower. I mowed the second property I am responsible for with ease. A grand, goofy, and GODLY day.
It was such a good day that my sleep, where solid and uninterrupted, was a bit wild as well. The enemy knows that he cannot have me. I am solid in my Father’s arms, but he does, from time to time, try to wear me out in other fashions. Whether it be writer's block and frustration or stupid little annoyances that just sit the wrong way with me, he is my thorn. HOWEVER, even with that and the draining it can give me, my eyes do not focus on the storm, but the Man who saved me from the storm.
Another friend showed me a photo of a saying the other day about how the enemy does not bother you if you are his. That is one of the most important statements ever made, in my opinion. If you have already been hired by my company, why do I need to try to get you to join our team? If you are already doing my work for me, why do I need to do anything else to get you to do my work? HOWEVER, when you start to see that the job you are doing is not peaceful or feels wrong or sits poorly in your spirit and you seek alternative solutions … i.e., God. You bet your bottom dollar that I do not want to lose a valued employee, and I am going to pull out all the tricks to keep you. In a business sense, I would give raises that were not earned, or flatter you with compliments always, and I would tell you that rival company has this negative and that negative and the rules are outrageous. The owner does not care about his employees and just look at how good you have it here.
When you decide to leave the enemy’s troops, he gets upset that his forces are dwindling. When you are doing his bidding, he is quite content and will show you why you should stick around. When you decide that this company is not for you and you start to move away … he throws a tantrum. He not only gets in your face and yells obscenities at you, but he goes after anyone who is trying to headhunt for your skill set. For example, my rough night’s sleep last night was a chaotic mess of utter confusion meant for me to wake up drained and not speak to my friend on this topic today. Just like medicine has an opposite effect on my husband, the enemy’s attempts to stop me have the same type of effect on me.
I think it was Paul who said he counted it great joy to have been chosen for the challenges placed before him. I would like to think that I am the same. I have a saying, ‘If you are coming after me, or talking about me, you are leaving everyone else alone.” I am good with that.’
Today I want you to walk with pride and confidence. Today I want you to show the enemy that you have chosen the Father of Peace and are leaving the father of chaos. Today I pray that your challenges appear in such a manner that you laugh when they arise and show God’s glorious victory as you take each step towards Him. Today …. Today is the day that God made …
Be blessed.
