Hi Peeps,
Today’s Quote
“Don’t get lost in the battles of an already won war.”~TB
Strategy
You might be thinking, “If the war has already been won, why are the battles so tough?”. That’s because the opposition plants Trojan horses along our paths and it’s up to us to study the strategies and Truth within the Bible to navigate such attacks. It’s important when conducting battle studies that you know who your allies and opponents are. If you’re not too careful your opponents can seem like your allies and your allies seem like opponents. When you understand the strategy of good and evil, the playing field becomes much clearer.
Playing Field
One of our biggest weaknesses is not the devil, but our own ignorance. When we don’t take time to study and learn the Truth we fall prey to lies obscuring the playing field. We then start to believe that we are the master and commander of our ships, foolishly engaging in friendly fire by living according to our fleshly desires. This is how we lose battles, but thank God (literally) that He has won the war. So whether or not you are victorious in your personal battles, we can all rely on the Final Battle as already determined. The most important part of this is understanding your choice in the matter
Choice
We choose how we engage in our personal battles. Whether we rely on God’s Word or our own pride and flesh is 100 percent our own doing. God has provided the Word, the Holy Spirit, and wise people to guide us to the correct answers. As the saying goes ‘you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink’ the same goes for you decision to follow God or not. If you want to live and die by the sword, so be it, but if you want to be victorious on the Battlefield, use the Biblical strategies to avoid the traps and snares.
Today’s Question
Whose Battle Studies are better; yours or God’s
Enjoy the reading
Isaiah 55
1 “Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink— even if you have no money! Come, take your choice of wine or milk— it’s all free!
2 Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen to me, and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the finest food.
3 “Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, and you will find life. I will make an everlasting covenant with you. I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David.
4 See how I used him to display my power among the peoples. I made him a leader among the nations.
5 You also will command nations you do not know, and peoples unknown to you will come running to obey, because I, the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, have made you glorious.”
6 Seek the LORD while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near.
7 Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to the LORD that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.
8 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the LORD . “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.
9For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
10“The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry.
11 It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.
12 You will live in joy and peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands!
13Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow. Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up. These events will bring great honor to the LORD ’s name; they will be an everlasting sign of his power and love.”
