Life Goes On!

This is a very important election year here in the United States.  The results of this election could very well determine the fate of our freedoms we have had for many generations.  Our country was founded on those freedoms.  Most important is the right to worship God how we choose.  I hear so many say if a certain candidate gets elected, our freedoms will be taken from us. That is devastating for many people to hear.  I certainly do not like the sounds of it.  However, if your candidate doesn’t win, will your life go on? It certainly will.  Maybe not the way you desire, but regardless our lives will go on.
During these times of facing a global pandemic, turmoil and violence in our world, and an election year, most of us are battling our own personal battles.  These battles probably have nothing to do with a pandemic or election.  Your battle may be financial, or health related, or relationship issues.  Whatever “your” battle is, it is important to you, and to our Lord Jesus. Just because there is turmoil in the world doesn’t mean Jesus has left you on the back burner to simmer all alone.
Not only does God care about your troubles, but He has given us a helper, His Holy Spirit, and His Word.  He has given us tools to use that enable us to be victorious.
If you remember on a previous blog I said we must be pro active, not passive.  That goes for our lives and our battles as well. He has given us life, He has given us strength, and He has given us the tools to use in battle.
We must persevere. We must stand tall and fight. We must be pro active. After all, LIFE GOES ON.

“Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by His vast strength. Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the tactics of the Devil. For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens. This is why you must take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand. Stand, therefore, with truth like a belt around your waist, righteousness like armor on your chest, and your feet sandaled with readiness for the gospel of peace. In every situation take the shield of faith, and with it you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is God’s word. Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert in this with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints. Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel. For this I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I might be bold enough in Him to speak as I should.”
