So I found this peice of paper from a high school Sunday school class that I was teaching from probably two years ago. It was folded up and somehow got stuck in my little travel shaving kit that I keep on my bathroom vanity.
I had written a worksheet for the students to complete in class. While they were working on it, I went through and answered the questions myself.
It goes something like this:
I realized this morning that this applies to my struggles with being healthy....among many other things.
Today is a new day. There is Victory at hand for those who wish to claim it.

I had written a worksheet for the students to complete in class. While they were working on it, I went through and answered the questions myself.
It goes something like this:
I face great struggles from Satan because God has great things planned for me. The attacks are strong, because the prize is grand. Am I ok fighting the battles I can't win on my own? When will my futility and frustrations turn into commitment and resolve??? Only when my commitment is to Jesus, not the battle. And when my resolve is to serve the Lord, not good deeds or actions.
I choose the path on which I travel. I choose if I am to walk in the light, fully exposing my sin to Christ, or if I walk in the path of darkness. If I choose a path of darkness, I do understand that though I cloak myself in darkness and hide in the bushes of sin....I can not hide myself from God. He sees me as I am...broken, raw...and full of sin.
So to those who stand with me, I call you "brothers" and "sisters". And I say to you "Let us prepare for battle."
For those who stand opposed, I call you "enemy". And to you I say "Prepare for defeat."
Victory is at hand.
