wanna fight?

"The Lord your God who goes before you will Himself fight for you..." Deuteronomy 1:30

I was listening to some of my favorite music while checking out books. Julie, a third grader, commented she liked my music and liked singing.  She went on to say how she writes songs.  When i asked her to sing one for me, she didn't hesitate.  But her lyrics surprised me...

 "If you want to fight... come on... I'm not scared of you anymore"

The sweet, clear voice of this songbird told a tale of overcoming a struggle.  What courage and strength to possess as such a tender age.  Clearly something or someone had created a hardship for her, but with godly guidance she found power and a voice to overcome it and sing of victory.

Are you struggling? Have you found yourself up against a rough wall of attack, meanness or untruths?  May the comfort of knowing you are not alone in the fight bring you peace, endurance and the ability to stand tall and strong.  Know who knows all, will not leave you on the battlefield of truth alone.  His strategy is strong and perfect.  Keep your armor on and know victory is yours in Him.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil... and having done all, to stand firm.  

Be a Julie, and start writing your song.  I can't wait to hear you sing.

you are chosen and loved by God,

may you live, love, do and SING like you believe it,
