"You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? That kind of confusion does not come from the one who calls you."
Galations 5:7,8
This portion of scripture ignites a feeling of fury in me. Have you ever run a race that you were fully confident God signed you up for? Have you ever wrestled and had victory in obedience and perseverance only to find someone cutting in on you. . . determined to see your failure and cease any momentum gained? This makes me good and ticked off. You need to know that our enemy prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour. Just as our Heavenly Father has a plan for our lives, so does the enemy of our soul.
Will you see this for what it is? Will you see your run with the Redeemer not as a playground, but as a battleground?
Will you get good and ticked off with me when our enemy cuts in on you?
When you feel that defeat is inevitable?
Yes, ma'am, you get good and ticked off when you see the world vying for the affections of your children.
Get downright angry when you see children trapped in harms way.
Will you show a little emotion and a little righteous anger when you sense yourself being lulled to sleep in the midst of all that God is doing?
When fear paralyzes you?
When doubts and faithlessness crowd your mind?
When helplessness and hopelessness team up to do their damage?
Yes, ma'am. Get a little feisty, will you?
Because you know what?
"The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself RESTORE you and make you STRONG, FIRM and STEADFAST."
1 Peter 5:10
