Battle Weary

“Fighting the good fight” as the saying goes can cause us to grow tired. But in this tired state it is important not to give up or surrender to our enemy. Paul wrote about this to the Galatians.

Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

In the midst of these times of being weary, it can help to think of those that went before us. There was the deliverance from Egypt. The building of an ark. And most notably our Messiah who suffered all unto death.

Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

This one thing we know, our enemy is already defeated, no matter how challenging the battle may seem. Our Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) defeated Him on the cross. SO, no matter how tired we get, or how impossible the situation may seem, we can know and trust that our Father, Yahuah (Lord), is watching over us and we will see victory if we will stand fast.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are King. We thank and praise the name of Yahuah (Lord). Send us Your overwhelming provision now. Heal us, guide us, forgive us, and deliver us. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
