The
Battle…The Warrior
Oh, the
darkness of despair
That sees
the natural so narrow-minded,
That
despair that cuts through the soul with fear,
That seems
to swarm around your head and effect everything you see,
The
sadness that leaps upon you, paralyzing you,
Until it
strips you of wholeness, faith, peace, hope, and a sound mind,
Yes, until
all joy is dried up
And life
becomes deep and dark…
And that
darkness that covers:
The dawn
that is spreading across the mountain…
The army
of the heavenly hosts that have appeared to help…the likes of what you couldn’t
imagine,
It blocks
out the fire of passionate desire that is being released from the Father’s
heart…
It hides
the garden of delight, the blessings, the favor of the Lord,
Confusing
your thoughts about the goodness of God or His purposes of love and delight for
you.
But
suddenly…
That
fierce enemy of despair
That
seemed to puff itself up so mightily…
Suddenly…it
appears tiny…
And away
it goes…
Running in
fear, screaming…
That is
because the Mighty Army has come!!!
The mighty
army that scales over the land like trained soldiers…
The Lord
leads this army,
He
scatters all the enemies…
He wins
the fight…
He turns
and whispers,
“Come…return
to Me, for I am gracious, merciful, kind.
I am eager to help…”
Oh come
and rejoice in the Lord with me…
For He has
delivered me from my enemy of despair, my enemy of death, my enemy of darkness…
He rescued
me…
He knows
me completely and cares…
He has
come to show me His unfathomable love and the desire of His heart
For me to
be whole…healed…and blessed!
Come, let
us rejoice in the Lord!!!
Joel 2
