Day 19 – January 19, 2018
I have been experiencing dis-ease in my body for a few days now. My husband was very ill at first. So after work each night, I’d come home and “doctor him up” to recovery. He was off from work for a week. A couple of days after he returned to his job, I laid in the bed sick.
I spent the day going over my previous days of journal entries. I felt like God was saying to me your sickness is more spiritual than physical–what is going on with me externally is a reflection of what is going on inside of me.
There is a great battle against my mind. My salvation, my love for God, my obedience to Him and to His word, my ability to take the “high road” during the hard tests of life, are also under attack. I must seek His plan for overcoming the nightmares and fears of driving (by myself, or at night, or to places I have never driven before). I must follow His blueprint for anything that is blocking my way to a victorious life.
Yes, my body is suffering from flu-like symptoms, but my heart has a leak in it. The spiritual attack is more real than the physical. I must not run away from God, but to HIM with everything within me. I must stop trying to rhyme and reason the events of my life. If there is something God wants me to know, He will share them and in His perfect timing. I will not allow my analytical mind to get me off course again.
Daily Reflections: Today, I do not engage nor fight without God. I am putting on all the weapons He gave me: Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Faith and Salvation. These are NOT just words, but are filled with the very essence of God and Who He is in my life. He told me to put them on as though there is some indication that I do not automatically wear them all the time. Hmmm ….
“Don’t ever go into battle again without being fully dressed. We are up against more than we can imagine. Here is the weaponry I wear: I strap Truth around my loins, which protects my very sensitive body parts; I guard my heart by putting on my chest Jesus; I prepare my way by slipping on my Gospel of Peace shoes; I slip on my Faith Shield, because the enemy will surely bombard my life with deadly arrows of accusations, discords, distrust, deceits, distractions, etc. to get me off point; and I lock on my head Salvation’s Helmet, which is God’s Word. Although most of us consider the last one to be the least among all the weapons, don’t be fooled. It is NOT. Our salvation is the very foundation of our life and who we belong to. Jesus redeemed us from sin and eternal death. Oh, and never ever leave out prayer …. this keeps you focused and humbled.” Paraphrased from Ephesians: 6:13-18 (MSG).
