I've never been in a war before but I have family members who have in the front lines of the war zone and I see the effects of being in combat in their eyes.
They say the eyes are the gateway of the soul and if being in a war makes a person different and unsettled, imagine the effects of a war of your own making.
When I came across this little devotional, I saw the key to overcoming any battle one may face whether it's man made or one you started.
It's simply stated and can't be beat, praise that comes from my lips can destroy even the toughest of enemies and when I look around at this world, I better sing louder and humbler so not only will I be the victor but also have the mindset to never leave anyone behind for everyone is fighting some sort of battle and they're looking for a way to save them from the battle scares called life.
God Bless.
Spiritual Warfare
by Joyce Meyer -
And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] . . . And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always].
—Colossians 3:15
—Colossians 3:15
You are waging spiritual warfare when you give radical praise to God in the midst of your need and lack. When you are thankful to God for all He has done and is doing, you are defeating the enemy. When you hold your peace in the midst of the storm, you are warring with spiritual weapons (see 2 Corinthians 10:4-5).
Jesus said, Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you... [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled](John 14:27). Jesus has given you peace! Put it on, and wear it everywhere you go.
