an attack
Our total man flows as one, from our physical to our spiritual and emotional state. If we do not manage ourselves than we will be thrown off balance. Balance keeps us centered and focused. So we have to seek our own balance in life, from internal to external. If you didn’t suspect, we can be thrown off balance, especially when we are on a mission and connected to many other lives. Road blocks show up in our lives that we can’t just jump over. We actually have to put in the work to knock them down.
Now everybody’s road block is not the same because our purpose and visions are not the same. And some of our road blocks are not that obvious to us. The attack to our lives is the spiritual warfare in our face to keep us down and push us further from moving in purpose. See when the enemy realizes you are effectual he wants to stop you to make you second guess. But my God, who does not lie, says “no weapon formed against you shall prosper.”(Isaiah 54:17) Now its going to form and get close but it will not take you out.
So what do you do? Stay close to God. Seek Him even more. Speak His Word over your life. Stand firm in what He has given you to walk out. For me, its encouraging you. Don’t you think it would be bad for me to choose to encourage you and not myself. We have to encourage ourselves even when we don’t feel like it, don’t want to, and nobody else does. Just like how I would encourage you to know you are beautiful inside and out, is the same I have to do for myself. Just like I would say that your character is your beauty radiating on the outside and to walk in it, is the same thing I have to say to myself. When I say embrace you and see you beyond your face, I also have and am saying and doing it.
See, the Word says, “Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” (Proverbs 31:30) So, we seek God at all times for He is our balance. He knows what is going on with us better than we know. So trust Him thru the process of attack, change, and renewal. We are beautiful no matter the obstacle, thought, or sight…embrace it and own it.
