Standing in Battle

I thought this was fitting for today from His Pricess Warrior by Sheri Rose Shephard:

You are not called to follow others, my beloved warrior. I have appointed you to lead them to me.

Life will become a great adventure if you will step out to the front line and fight for those who are too weak to fight for themselves. Don't look back on what you have lost; look forward to the great victories that are in front of you. You don't have to hide behind your fears and insecurities any longer. I can and will turn your pain into passion to change the world around you. As you find your way to the front line, hide this truth in your heart: "This fight is not just for you, it is for all those you dearly love".

Love,
Your King who fights for you

Deuteronomy 20:3 NLT He will say to them, "Listen to me, all you men of Israel! Do not be afraid as you go out to fight your enemies today! Do not lose heart or panic or tremble before them."

Zechariah 10:5 NIV Together they will be like mighty warriors in battle trampling their enemy into the mud of the streets. They will fight because the Lord is with them, and they will put the enemy horsemen to shame.

I love how the author says that God "can and will turn your pain into passion to change the world around you." Sometimes I think we get caught up in thinking God is not asking us to do anything because our life revolves around our family, we work at home or in an "un"adventurous job but this clearly says you are called to change the world around you whatever that might be. "This fight is not just for you: it is for all those you dearly love." That puts a whole new light on everything we face.
