only from finding strength in the Lord, do we have the courage to take that first step. when that happens, the angels in heaven rejoice.
but what i realised is this-
it is only then that the true spiritual warfare begins, the battle of what goes on within the head, the thoughts that seed doubts and cause regret.
some of us are particularly susceptible to this.
but that cannot be the case, because stumbling now is like going out onto the battlefield, forgetting your sword, shield and warcry, and then putting the blame on the General for sending you onto the battlefield unarmed. it causes us to lose faith, when what we don't realise is that this mustard seed of faith needs to be accompanied with the disciplines to grow this seed of faith.
so i'm gonna listen to Your every single command.
depending on You, Father.
depending ever so dangerously on You.
time to stop those self indulgently piteous night bawls and start praying and reading the Bible.
