Zephaniah 3:17
The LORD your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing.
It has been a wonderful day. I had a great time with my family. It was a beautiful sunny day with a cool breeze. I even went out to the lake to draw. However, my clouds started coming in and coming in hard. I know no one really knows why one person gets hit with depression and someone else doesn’t. I know when you have met one person with depression, you have met one person. I mean we all experience it so differently. For me today, it is a sudden feeling of doom and gloom. I am fighting with myself to do anything. Even writing today’s belong has been a 10-round boxing match. I guess I one. I am here.
I keep reading today’s verse and hanging on for dear life. I know even when I feel like I am sitting in the pit and darkness is closing in fast, God delights in me. He loves me. He is fighting for me. Even when I am ready to put my gloves down and sink to the bottom of the mat, He is still fighting on, and better than that He will win for me.
So, what do I do now? Well, I go put on my favorite Christian artist, for King and Country and turn up the volume to “Fight on Fighter”. I sing. I play it over and over again until I start to feel again. Then I sing louder and louder. Eventually, I will be right back in that ring again, fighting alongside God and you. But for today, it is OK to not be Ok and just let God be my Mighty Warrior!
Lord, I will be back in the fight soon, but today I need to rest in Your arms. ~amen
