It seems that battles never end. Fighting in the mid-East. Racial discrimination. Freedom. Increasing or losing market share. Bridgeport vs. Decatur. We find battles in many different stages, many different levels of intensity, many different consequences; but battles never stop.
Satan never leaves his battle with us. He may back off, he may slow down but he is always lurking, always waiting for the right moment to pounce. Our weakness, too often, is failing to be aware that the battle is out there, waiting for us.
Thankfully, even though the battle rages, even though we might take a few hits and suffer some wounds, the Lord is our shepherd, we shall not want...if what we want his him, not us, not our desire, but his and his alone.
Grace and peace to you.

I am about convinced that one of the worst things that can happen to us is that we become unaware of the battle.
Thanks for that, Jeff.
I am trying to get caught up with your posts since I just got your blog site back. I'm getting ready to teach class this morning so I may have to use some of this good stuff. The battle never ends around us but we know for sure that our side is going to win. It is a nice way to go into a war.
