Are you going through a battle right now? A few years ago I heard the story of an American soldier during World War 2 who was having a difficult time in the middle of the battle.
While fighting in the South Pacific he wrote a letter to his father back home in America. In his letter he described the horrors around him, named fallen comrades, and told of daily dangers. He closed his letter with this question, “Dad, please write me back and tell me who is winning the war.”
Isn’t that like us? We are so much in the middle of the battle that we don’t know if we are winning or losing. What do you do when you feel overwhelmed?
Talk to your Father.
Like this soldier reaching out to his Dad, we have access to our Father who sees our battle from a different vantage point.
After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”
Revelation 4:1
That door is still open today. When we enter that door through prayer we will see the battle from a new perspective… from heavens point of view.
From heaven’s point of view, your greatest mistakes can be redeemed and become your greatest message. From heaven’s point of view the people that seem to be harming you are actually propelling you to your destiny!
Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.
– Micah 7:8
I want to encourage someone today, get up again! Trust God again. Take a step of faith again. Get back into the battle. Stay faithful!
We may be in the midst of the battle and forget God’s faithfulness. You may even lose some ground from time to time.
But in the end… WE WIN!
