The Weapons of Our Warfare

When you have survived an attack and it's over and done, you can lay down your weapons and get out of defense mode.  Don't keep waiting to fight the same attacker that came against your younger self.  That person or thing is gone, except for in your mind.  You're fighting a ghost.  You're trying to shield yourself from a dream.  Stop resurrecting your dead enemies in the faces of the people you live and work with today.  Take confidence in the strength and wisdom God gave you to survive, but enjoy the peace of right now.  Being on the defense takes a lot of energy.  You should not waste your energy when you have the Great Defender.  Instead you should apply your energy toward cultivating and using your gifts and talents.  Create, produce and serve your purpose. Trust God to alert you, protect you and show you when and how to do battle when the time comes.
