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."
