It is very likely that right now as you are reading this, you are fighting a battle of some sort. You could be fearful, anxious, weary or broke.
The bible reminds us in St. Luke 12 verses 22 – 34
“…Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. 23For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24 Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! 25And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 26If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? 27Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 29And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. 30For all the nations of the world seek after these things and your Father knows that you need them. 31Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
32 "Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is there will your heart be also.”
We are all driven by our desires and matters of the heart. Quite often we worry and fight over ‘bread and butter’ matters. Life however is more than bread and butter. God desires to bring greater purpose out of our lives that just to make us exist, eat, sleep and find pleasure in the earth.
As you fight your battles, don’t allow cares of life to defeat you. ‘Cares’ are powerful weapons, but don’t allow them to defeat you. Find time for God and the things for which he has created you. If you fight against God and the things which are Godly, then your defeat is certain. But if you are for God and God is for you, who can be against you?
You are a predestined winner.
