Equipped.

God wants us to be equipped. He doesn’t want us scrambling around when satan attacks looking for our weapons for war. God desires us to be alert and equipped, ready for battle. Ready for every challenge ahead. He doesn’t want us blind sided. Something I have learned is that the more quality time I spend with God, the less I am moved by circumstances. The more I hear the holy spirit speaking to me and revealing things to me that I would in no way know other wise.
Did you know that the Holy Spirit can show you what is going on in other people’s hearts around you? That he can prepare you on how to handle a situation ahead? He doesn’t allow you to see these things so that you fear them but rather so that you can pray for it, the person, the heart, the situation. Prayer works. The word of God IS our “how to do life” Manuel. Why do we keep insisting that we can do life on our own strength and time? We absolutely can not! We will grow tired, weary, short fused, grouchy, and selfish. We must put on the love of jesus goggles and see life and others the way God see’s it. God isn’t moved by our circumstances. He is moved by our faith in him, knowing with God all things are possible.
