Day 250

A few days ago I was in this crappy mood.  I’m not really sure what brought it on – but it sort of hovered over me everywhere I went. Like a dark cloud following me. Anyway – I walked into my closet to put some clothes away and clearly heard, “You know, if you spent half of the time in My Word that you spend on her- you’d be set free.”

Now, I’d love to say that I heard a very loud voice tell me this. But it was loud enough to grab my attention and say, “What?”

I repeated it in my head at least twice before I said, “Oh. Right.”

What I thought was at His feet…I apparently went back and quickly grabbed that weight and carried it back down the hill with me.  And by doing so…that cloud hovered over my head producing the crappy mood.

The enemy knows how to work me over and it’s up to me to either put weight on his lies or weight on God’s truth. Wherever I put my focus – that is what will grow. Whatever we water – grows.

The words stung…but clearly words I needed to hear. Words that help me clear some ground!

2 Corinthians 10:3-6The Message (MSG)

"The world is unprincipled. It’s dog-eat-dog out there! The world doesn’t fight fair. But we don’t live or fight our battles that way—never have and never will. The tools of our trade aren’t for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity."
