When I first started feeling this way, I allowed the
emotions to lead me. It wasn’t drowning, so I figured I was fine – right? But
then it hit me, the enemy was testing my shield. He’s looking and searching for
a way to break into my mind and rip me to shreds (Matthew 12:43-45).
I could almost feel my shield being poked and pushed in.
I instantly quoted Isaiah 53:5:
“But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.”
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.”
And Leviticus 12:8c:
“And the priest shall make atonement for
her, and she shall be clean”.
Then slowly, I felt the cloud pull away from my sun and I
felt peace.
Sometimes we get so use to things being ‘just a little bad’ that it doesn’t
bother us. But then the enemy adds a little on top of that, until it becomes
part of the pile. And the next thing we know, our ‘little’ is a huge mountain that we have no idea how it got
there.
I finally took a stand today, and stopped the sadness
before it got worse (Mark 9:42-44).
One small victory; one huge step in the right direction.
