World at War
The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10
Have you ever wondered why Jesus married those two statements?
Before he promised us life, Jesus warned that a thief would try to steal, kill, and destroy it. How come we don’t think that the thief then actually steals, kills and destroys?
There is something set against us.
We are at war.
Until we come to terms with war as the context of our days we will not understand life. We will misinterpret 90 percent of what is happening around us and to us.

Jeremiah 33:3, NLT
SO.SUHWEEET!
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are not sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. God, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer’s; he makes me tread on my high places.
—Habakkuk 3 : 17 – 19 NIV/ESV
Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.
—Hebrews 10:23
Satan seeks to draw our minds away from the mighty Helper, to lead us to ponder over our degeneration of soul. But though Jesus sees the guilt of the past, He speaks pardon; and we should not dishonor Him by doubting His love. The feeling of guiltiness must be laid at the foot of the cross, or it will poison the springs of life. When Satan thrusts his threatenings upon you, turn from them, and comfort your soul with the promises of God. The cloud may be dark in itself, but when filled with the light of heaven, it turns to the brightness of gold; for the glory of God rests upon it.
Hard Day
Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the upholder of my life.
With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good.
Psalm 54: 4,6
