“…let’s not have any quarreling…let’s part
company. If you go to the left, I’ll go to the right; if you go to the
right, I’ll go to the left.” (Gen 13:8-9)
So many of us are struggling with internal mindsets
that are always fighting each other. There is one voice that KNOWS
what is true, (every single one of us has it); and then are another
voice that argues, “These rules won’t work for you;
you have a different situation that anyone else; one day of bad eating
means that you are a failure; those types of food are ‘off limits’ to
you – they stick to your thighs immediately…”, and the list can go on
and on. What types of battles go on in your head?
You know, with all the battles going on in this
world of ours, should we allow the internal battles to continue? Is it
worth it, really? There is an internal voice of guidance, joy, and
direction, no getting around it ~ His name is Jesus.
He is there, yes, He may be drowned out by the dark voices that we have
accepted as ‘real’ within us, but He is still there waiting patiently
for us to listen to Him. Deep within us each of us know the wrongdoings
we do to ourselves, or allow others and/or
outward situations do to us. Today is the day when we must stop
letting the darkness control us.
Whatever hurting, struggling-type thoughts that may
be plaguing you, we can be free!! For today take one battle in your
mind and do the exact opposite. If your mind is telling that you ‘must’
do this, eat that, think this, act like that,
etc., then do the opposite. Start with the smallest battle in your
mind and conquer it today. Tomorrow
work on a slightly bigger battle. Every day you shut the dark voices
out, you will begin to hear God louder and louder. Soon, dark voices
will be a thing
of the past~ I promise!! God’s voice is our lifeline ~ we have to hold
on to Him or we won’t make it.
