FIGHT OR FLIGHT

What do you do when unexpected circumstances arise in your life? Often times you will see people get scared and back down, then you have a select few who will face whatever it is head-on. So which one are you?

As I sit here and write this, I can’t help but chuckle at all the times I decided to buckle and fold when situations would arise. I would become extremely overwhelmed with emotion, I would get upset with what my situation looked like in the natural realm, anxiety would creep in, and “woe it’s me”, the list can go on and on. On the inside, I was running and running very fast. I didn’t know how to handle unexpected situations nor was I spiritually strong enough to do so.

As the years have gone by, and I’ve grown more spiritually I look at things differently along with the way I handle them. Now, instead of running, I get my head in the game and I say okay God let’s do this. I have become a fighter now and I don’t get easily moved. I fight back with prayer, the word, past reflections of what the Lord has done before, and faith. However this is not something that came overnight, it’s taken a lot of time and I am still growing every day.

THERE IS NO VICTORY WITHOUT THE BATTLE!

So, I’m here to encourage you to fight back and allow the Lord to strengthen you. When you are weak He is strong and we can find rest in that on today. We serve a God who wants us to get up and fight back, and be confident in knowing that he’s with us every step of the way living on the inside of us equipping us with all we need to overcome any and everything under the sun.

Armour up and let’s get ready for war!

Psalm 84:5 ESV

"Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.”

Philippians 4:13 ESV

“I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”

Psalm 34:17

“When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.”
