An intense battle poses many dangers, not the least
of which is “friendly fire”. Accidental attacks on friendly
forces while trying to defeat the enemy is one of the most tragic aspects of
war. Nothing about the battlefield is pleasant, but to be taken out by those
for whom you fight adds insult and deep pain to an already bad situation. I
have seen it in spiritual battles, relational battles and even family battles
as well. At times, when we are counting on our comrades in arms, they turn
weapons on their own. Cain was wrong; I AM my brother’s keeper. You O LORD are my
Shield and Defender. Keep me attentive in the fog of war. May I never be confused
about who the true enemy is.
“This is the day that the LORD has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!” Psalm 118:24 ESV. The table is set for a brand-new day. Only God knows exactly what is already prepared for my arrival in it. I must now leave behind days gone by and ready myself for new insight, a higher life, and greater things. Am I up for what today will bring? Only the day will tell, but the One who provides it will also carry me through it. One thing is sure; I will walk upon on sacred footprints since the Alpha and Omega has already trod this moment in advance, sprinkling blessings and divine opportunities throughout. I must pay attention so I don’t miss a thing He has placed along the path. Lord God, Lover of My Soul, today is the day You have made; I am so good with that and already rejoicing in what is to unfold. Lift me in Your arms and carry me through with faith, joy, and purpose.
