My week has been good and bad. I find myself at a place where I am reminded how much I am made up out of dust and unworthy of anything God showers me with, in such a way that I even sometimes feel guilty.
Have you ever felt this way?
Am I alone in this?
I live in a place where the term "prosecution" has no real meaning. South Africa has its politics and its ups and downs, but generally speaking we are a peacefull nation. The word Prosecution stems from the Late Latin prōsecūtiōn-(stem of prōsecūtiō) :a following up. In other words, your past catches up to you, your sins, mistakes... is all on show. Then why am I feeling this way?
I know sins are forgiven and forgotten in the yes of God, and the only one able to judge me for it is God Himself (who sees Christ's Righteousness when he looks at me after I have asked for His forgiveness).
And then it hit me.
Ephesians 6:12
"for our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
Easiest way of distracting the enemy? Make them believe the war does not apply to them. So stand strong in your faith, stand strong in your hope and your love. I will try! the rest is up to God!
