The image of the sun rising over the distant hills, a chill in the air, and the leaves turning colors are a constant reminder of this autumn morning. I'm exhausted spiritually. I was just in a huge battle for real a few nights ago, and I'm still healing from it. I have learned to me more aware, and more ready in every moment of life to defend and fight for what is right. I'm not talking about literally attacking someone, but when someone is telling you "You wont be important or attractive if your fat"... it's your choice to either accept that statement or block it. It's blocked by understanding that you were made in Gods image, and God has plans to prosper you. Now That is a side of sword fighting people don't use as often... but like your muscles, it grows in time as you use it.
The physical sword you have can do a lot of damage, it can tear through anything visible. But what about the bible? It's a sword too- check this out-
Hebrews 4:12
"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart"
So train with the bible daily! It's more than "Devotions" or "Bible reading"... It's a warriors cry to his Captain, it's a call to arms, it's time to stand up and fight the good fight!
The most difficult battle is in you. If you want to be a warrior, you cant just buy the suit at wal-mart and call yourself a warrior, it's earned.
