The Battle Part 2

Here's the second part.. heezz.

Battle are literay fought daily n every now and then. So far the battles fought alot are spiritual, emotional, physical (to a certain extend). Psalm 23 come into my mind as part one was being written. Personally, i felt that alot of battle fought are base on my own strength, own abilities and own mental. That is the start of a defeat. Why would i say that? Fighting on the front with my abilities is like pride in a way depending on myself.

At the first, i might be winning away, defeating everything in sight. Victorious I might be but taking into consideration is that how long will i last. I will come to the point of the state where the "soldier totally shattered of hope, even the commander has ran away". Like in many times, OT (King era). Following the ways of man and depending on self, results in falling into many temptations and deviating from God. Even though, its obvious, but history repeats itself like a vicious cycle.

Its like trapped in a whirlpool that keeps dragging you into the centre which will result in disappearing into oblivion. A lot of strength and help is require to get out of it. Even in battles of life, its like a whirlpool effect. At the start, fighting it seems easy on our own but later it turn out that the person is dragged deeper and closer the centre. Not long, it's time to say good bye. God has always open the door for us and not only that He has been reminding and prompting us to depend on Him, trust in Him.

Psalm 23 is one of the verse that can be cling on and as a reminder of who God is. He is not only our shepherd but also the Lord and Commander of a the heavenly army. Even mentioned in NT, the world we fight are not of this world but of the spiritual. So how can we win with worldly equipment and weapons. What we need is God and seek His help.
