You can't have a victory...
You can't have a victory without a battle.
The fight isn't mean to break us, but to make us.
We are led by the LORD of hosts (read: God of angel armies).
Fear is an enemy tactic.
To know our Commander is to walk in confidence.
No battle too fierce; no foe too strong.
There is no surrender here. Just arms trained for warfare and hearts trained to obey.
You can't have a victory without a battle.
Go. Fight. Win.
* repeating to myself because I am in a battle that has raged for months and just when I started seeking a transfer from my post, He shows up. In the pages of my morning reading, there He was - Master of Breakthroughs. I am back on the field. Breakthroughs are Your work. Do it again, LORD.
