... with ourselves, have weaknesses and even sins that easily harass us. As I am writing this I am watching a hawk try to dry it wings while sitting on a fence. A pesky mockingbird does not think the hawk should be resting or drying out so he feels it necessary to fly at him over and over. In Hebrews 12:1-2 (NKJV) “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
What is that thing in your life where the enemy is attacking you and constantly harassing you so you cannot rest in the Lord? Maybe you have trouble loving someone...been there, done that, and have the t-shirt. Has life sucked out your joy and you are having trouble coping with one day at a time? Peace is far from you because of trouble in the family or the events coming on our world. You have no self-control when it comes to saying “no” to the temptation of the enemy or “yes” in your obedience to Jesus. What are we to do?
In Galatians 5:22-23 the Apostle Paul says, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, selfcontrol. Against such there is no law.” As we seek God and are filled with the Holy Spirit, He will provide everything we need for life and godliness! Again Paul says in Galatians 5:16 NKJV “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” Be filled with the Spirit, walk in the Spirit, and you will Live in Freedom Everyday!
