“Whoever believes in me, as the scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'” (John 7:38 ESV)
“With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.” (Isaiah 12:3 ESV)
“It’s time we the people,
Stand up for what is right.
It’s time we squared our shoulders back,
And raised our swords to fight.
For the Bible is our weapon,
And the spirit is my shield.
The church needs more of its members to be workers in the field.
Step into the water,
Wade out a little bit deeper.
Wet your feet in the water of his love.
Ohh Step into the water
Wade out a little bit deeper,
Come join angels singin’,
Praises to the Lamb of God.
To the lamb of God.”
This is part of the song, “Step Into the Water”. I especially like the first part. It is time we stood up and made a stand. The devil is a liar and is out to discourage everyone he can. But we have the power to overcome him. Pick up your Bible and start quoting scripture at him. We need to stand together, wade out into the deep waters and fight. If we all stand against him, he doesn’t stand a chance of dragging us down.
If you see someone struggling, pray for them or with them. They may just need encouragement that it’s ok. God hasn’t changed his mind about us. He is still crazy about us.
Just because things aren’t going smoothly doesn’t mean God has forgotten you. He is just waiting for our pity party to be over so he can get to work.
So whatever has you down today, remember God still loves you and thinks you’re the best thing since sliced bread. So put on your fighting clothes and get to fighting. Warriors are needed right now.
