Faith or Frenzy?

Battle weary? We should never try to fight our spiritual battles alone. Our unseen enemy is vicious. We need to pray to God to step in and fight for us. He will. He does. He always wins, too. But we must go to God first.

It's rejuvenating to "cast all our cares on God" (1 Peter 5:7) and in faith, rest in His love for us. Right? We're revived when we're resting in God because we're finally, actually trusting God!  We're thinking clearly, our prayer life is stronger, and our priorities are right, too. 

And I mean, it's absolutely exhausting and stressful to be entangled in the frenzy of the devil's lies, isn't it? Not only are we battle weary from trying to resist evil in our own strength, we're totally "occupied" and distracted from "hearing our Shepherd's voice" (John 10).

God's plan for us is to rest in His promises to: meet our every need (Philippians 4:19), be with us like a Mighty Warrior who defeats our enemies (Jeremiah 20:11), give us power in our prayers (James 5:16), overcome evil (1 John 4:4), love us with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3), and oh, so much more than we can ask or think of asking Him! (Ephesians 3:20). 

He invites us to flourish in the supernatural life of a child of God here on earth! 

"Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." (Matthew 11:28). 

Ok. You've been invited.  And, if you RSVP with a "Yes, Lord," you'll find out for yourself, He is awesome!
