Spiritual Warfare


I have hesitated posting the past few days because my heart has been so tortured. We are under some serious spiritual warfare right now. I am taking the brunt of it at the moment, and I just feel attacked. But as I sit and reflect on all the things that are happening around us and to us, I am comforted with the thought that "we must be doing something right if the Evil One is so threatened by us to attack us". It's almost like confirmation, in a backwards way. I read this verse in my Quiet Time this morning and I was so encouraged.  Deuteronomy 1:30 "The LORD your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes".  I feel like we are stepping out in the wilderness right now, and while I am being attacked, all I need to do is be still, REST in his peace and have confidence that He will fight for me.  Nothing that happens in our lives are surprises to Him, nothing shocks Him.
