Battles

We all have battles. Internal battles and external battles. Victories over these battles sometimes come quickly and easily while others are hard fought, enduring battles.

For the past few days I have been in a battle. The first few days of this blog were exciting and ideas were rolling in from every direction. I have a pile of scratch paper with words and thoughts scribbled on them, waiting to be developed. The battle however, arises when I turn my computer on and sign in to post a new entry on here. The battle wages.

"This thought/idea isn't good enough to actually post, Amy. It'd be a waste of time to write and a waste of time for anyone who would read it."

So I change direction and go with a different topic that God has been working on me about. I sign in, begin to type and then the battle arises again.

The topic may be good and for all I know someone might really need it or need to hear a verse about it and God will press me to post it and give me the right verses, yet when I read through it before clicking on "Publish Post" it just doesn't flow right to me so I delete it and decide to come back later.

It's been three days since I've posted last. This battle has been raging for three days.

I know God wanted me to do this blog. All of the reasons may not be known to me but I know it's something He wants me to do. I don't want to give up on it.

So this is my post on battles. When the battle rages, go to His Word. The Bible will give you comfort, encouragement, strength and direction. Through His Word, God will give you the right reinforcement to continue on in doing the things He has given you to do.

This post is my response to the battle. The battle that waged against me to give up.

"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord." ~ 1 Corinthians 15:58
