the edges of our hearts are singed with fear and an unwelcome atrocity.
We lie there stripped of our integrity wondering what just happened.
Nothing seems to make sense the way it did just days before,
and suddenly we feel hopeless and weak and irredeemable.
Irrational, reckless, dangerous.
The thoughts that roll through our minds keep taunting us,
forming and deforming into webs of intricate lies.
This is the danger of putting down your guard,
zoning out for just a few seconds is all it takes.
When the mind ceases to be tame all hell breaks lose in silent subtlety.
Where is faith?
Where is strength?
Where is discipline?
Where is truth?
Where is power?
But Jesus said:
"Beat your plowshares into swords
and your pruning hooks into spears.
Let the weakling say,
"I AM STRONG!"
-Joel 3:10
Where is truth?
John 17:17:
"Sanctify them by your truth; your Word IS TRUTH."
We are called by God to be more than conquerors, even in the midst of so much danger.
