We are all in a war of some kind. Trouble and heartache that pull at our souls and wage battle on our minds. Things that can threaten to destroy us. But God has deemed us warriors, protected by the incredible armor of everything He has given us to win these battles. Victory is ours…
Be still my soul, for God is on my side
The enemy is real but this warrior will not hide
Though fear and doubt would taunt me
Bring out their weapons fierce
I wear a coat of armor
That their weapons cannot pierce
A warrior’s belt of truth
Wrapped around my core
Gives all the strength and full support
To make my victory sure.
A breastplate of the holiness
That God has placed on me
Protects my heart from evil
And foul anxiety.
My feet are custom fitted
With the shoes of precious peace
Protecting every step I take
Though the battle may increase
In my hand, a mighty shield
Composed of boundless faith
Extinguishing the flaming arrows
The enemy sends my way.
The helmet of my salvation
Placed tightly on my head
Protects my mind and all my thoughts
From the nemesis of dread.
And in my belt of truth
Is a sword so tried and true
The word of God, right by my side
That cuts every lie in two.
Be still my soul, for God is on my side
He’s given everything I need so I don’t have to hide
A warrior dressed for battle
A soldier off to war
Victory will be my cry
This battle is the Lord’s…
John 16:33 – “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (Jesus)
Hi, my sweetie,
I sent you a snail mail letter and I haven’t heard from you. KNOW that you will want to read it because you always ask me about DeWitt. His birthday is tomorrow and there are a lot of activities concerning him.
Love you Grandma
Oh, thank you Grandma! We checked the mail yesterday, but it wasn’t there yet. I will check again in the morning. I hope that his big 100 is a wonderful celebration! I want to hear all about it 🙂 xoxoxo
