"One of the most cunning tricks of the enemy is to get us to sink our energy into changing instead of focusing it on cultivating health and wellness in Christ."
-Priscilla Shirer, Armor of God Bible Study
Do you ever get gung-ho for change? Ever try to tackle that bad habit or attitude only to come up exhausted?
Before I dive in, let me just say, I won't be bashing or endorsing any candidate in this post. This is simply a guide to your personal prayer life with respect to the coming elections. You won't see pictures of elephants or donkeys, just a lion. It's a Biblical approach. You're safe here…no matter how you vote in November. I promise...
A couple weeks ago I wrote about my conversation with God...the journey of healing He is taking me on. November seems to be the month He whispered to me a few years ago.But I need to come right out and say it. My hope is not in November. It's not in the healing. It's in the Healer. It's in Jesus. And there's a big difference.
So I had this thought today... maybe you can follow my logic here. But our lives are like little shards of glass mirrors. We each have the potential to reflect great things. Whole things. But instead our lives are broken. When darkness broke into our world, it shattered the mirror of life. We now hold our little slivers of glass, fragments of broken potential.
But maybe as time moves on, as we seek to surrender to a faithful God, as we lay our shards before the Lord...He comes in and pieces us back together.
Shard by shard.
Day by day.
Moment by moment...
