"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight..."
1 Corinthians 3:19 How extraordinarily true! I have been having to engage in a lot more spiritual warfare in the last two months than usual. So many things in my life decided to happen all at once, sending me spinning in so many directions emotionally that I've had to cling to God on such a deeper level than ever before!! It's amazing what you learn going through the process of having your world turned upside down and not having the luxury to fall apart with it... God is so full of grace and compassion on me, even when I freak out He is there and teaching me as I go along. Things that don't make logical sense to this world but that are spiritual realities. I've found that my greatest weapon is peace. Not an earthly peace, but a peace that surpasses understanding. A quietness in my spirit no matter what the circumstances are around me. Such that I don't even seem to notice the storms. It comes when it makes no sense and permeates everything that I am. That is so much more powerful than the fieriest prayer or hours of intense intercession. I've learned that my greatest strength is found in joy, not in seriousness. It's not happiness - it's so much more than that. It's the looking up and seeing from an eternal perspective. It's taking the time to smell the flowers and knowing that God planted them there for me to smell. Being able to look darkness in the face and laugh because I know how much bigger and better my God is. It's in the way God does little things to tell me He loves me that don't affect anyone but me and can turn the worst day into a song. It's like dancing in between lightning bolts. In all this, my home is my secret place. The place where I spend time with Him. It's a pocket within my life - a world within my world - that is safe, pure, and beautiful. It's where He is faithful to always meet me and where I know I can go no matter what. He is my safe place and in His arms I can let go of all my burdens and rest. So my warfare is actually worship...
