God is the Great Deliverer. He will protect His own...in ways we may not get, in ways we may not understand..or even want. But He is faithful and cannot deny Himself. He is a God of Truth and order...not the god of lies and chaos.
I am not in a war, but sometimes I need God to shield my head when I go into battle...sometimes even against my own self and for sure against the devil who likes to whisper lies and create chaos.
Just a little example...even a silly one. An "mandatory emergency" meeting was called at work. My first go to..."What did I do wrong?" My brain goes a million miles rethinking every word said, every action done. Then goes to what tragedy could be abounding at work...who's sick, who's leaving? IT WAS INSANITY. Top that with this CRAZY "Texas is running out of gas" MADNESS that happened yesterday and a month long landscaping mess...
This morning I was like, "ENOUGH"...like that fitness guru from the 80's that use to yell, "Stop the insanity!" I had to still my heart and head and remind myself that this is not of God and stop listening to it. Certainly where the devil would like to have me because it makes me be a not very nice person with hate in my heart...this is the devil's playground.
But nope, not today. devil, you will NOT steal my joy. The Lord, MY strong deliverer, is going to shield my head today. I am going to go into battle with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, feet fitted with the gospel of PEACE, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit. (Ephesians 6:10-18)
Stoppin the insanity.
