“He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever” Revelations 21:4

Sometimes I feel like every day is a battle with the enemy! Whether he is pouncing on our family’s period of grief or whether he is poking at my own self-doubt. He is always lurking around pondering how he can trip us up. He is always conniving how he can distract us from God and what God has called us to do. But in these times when the enemy is trying his hardest to distract us from God we have to remember that God is right there fighting for us. God is the one who has the authority. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 “We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but NEVER abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.” Hang on to God’s promise through each battle. The battles will be won by God.

Everyone’s battle is different. For some it is shortage of faith, maybe your battle is anxiety or trust, or an addiction, hang on to God’s promises that he will never leave you and that the battle will come to an end. When Christ returns there will be peace and rest for each of us. The battle will be over!
