scripture…. who am i fighting? May 8, 2008

“But you will not even need to fight. Take your positions; then stand still and watch the Lord’s victory. He is with you, O people of Judah and Jerusalem . Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out there tomorrow, for the Lord is with you!” 2 Chronicles 20:17

really, who am i fighting?  myself?  society?  what i’m around?  people?  i’m seeing that it doesn’t matter.  i need to stop fighting cuz he says i don’t need to.  i’m usually fighting with myself mostly, my past, my thoughts, where do they even come from?  i think some bizarre stuff sometimes.  and example…………..last night i had a pretty busy day that ended with a softball game so i figured i had time to show up (of course late) to a corporate prayer meeting at our church.  i walk in the door and i have an almost immediate thought of someone, not a good one either( filled with jealousy, pride whatever) so God of course gives a word (a scripture) to someone there to share with the rest of us there.  I don’t even remember what scripture it was but it went something like this:    don’t be jealous, get rid of jealous thoughts and pridefullness and humble yourself (this of course is not a quote)  Well how do you like that?  i wasn’t there 5 minutes and God spoke to me.  Thanks Dad, i needed a good kick in the rear!  He is really showing himself to me and I love it. 

well i am going to position myself and let him lead.  ok so reality………….I WILL TRY TRY TRY to do this, probably will fall at times and will Jesus pick me up and i will move on.
