God is not looking for those who are fighting like there is no tomorrow. The Bible says that he is looking for those who will worship him in spirit and in truth. (ref. John 4:24)
So the next time you think you are getting God's attention by warring till you are tired... stand and rest with the promises you have spoken in the air waves around you and worship the Lord.
That is the real warfare! We labor to enter into his rest. (Heb. 4:10) We fight through our attitudes and hurts to focus on Him... as we praise him by choice -- by faith we are exalting him-- not our issues. After all, he is the only one that can change us and our situations.
That's the heart of praise and worship-- Him, not you. When we have a problem praising him or worshiping him it's because the focus is on us-- not on Him.
Thank You Lord for help to lay down all the stuff and problems that get in the way of our devotion to you. Thank You Lord for prompting us with a song to sing as we work today and let us bless your heart today. Let us be your hands and feet in the world today and please flow through us for your glory. Thank You Lord that we have your love shed abroad in our hearts and that we have sound minds that are not full of fear. (ref. Rom. 5:5, 2Tim. 1:7) Amen!
Bless you!
Big hugs,
Brenda Gale Thompson
