Fighting Battles
Do you sometimes feel like a soldier that must fight battles all day long? At the end of the day, do you lay down exhausted from the fight?
Joshua 5:13-15 - "And it came to pass when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man confronting him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? And the captain of the Lord's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off they foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so."
As servants of the Lord, we must remember that our Lord and God is the Lord and God over everyone and everything in the work place. He wants to be in our lives and the lives of every living person. When we fight the battles of our work place, we need to call on the Lord to be in our every action and our every motive. He has a plan for every situation and bringing Him into your actions every single day will insure His will is being done.
Go to the Lord in prayer and study His word EVERY morning before you go to work. Listen to His guidance as He speaks to you in the quiet times or through His written word. When there appears to be no answers to your situations, know as Joshua did: God is there with the Lord's hosts. This earth and all that is in it belongs to our Lord. Through your faith in Him, you will be victorious in every daily battle when your actions are based on His word.
Even in everyday work battles, God has a plan. The plan may be for you or it could be you are a part of God's plan for someone else. When the battle of today seems impossible, remember only God knows the whole plan. Your job is to serve Him the best you can, with God's support and love as your armor.
