In Your Favor

A holy turn of events has turned the tide of odds that were oddly slanted in different directions. The cry that was heard and healed has activated the fury of unseen forces and twisted fortune to favor you! You are the subject of gracious advantage at a time when weak hearts account for chattering teeth and shifting feet prepare for retreat; to acknowledge the possibility of a hypothesis strongly supported by the jittery reasoning of the indecisive. The battleground was set, the prayers were prayed and God had gone ahead to fit the pieces into place and yet, you wait for reassurance of the sure thing He promised He already gave you. Looking for signals and signs and reading the hunches and history and nothing appears to be trending your way; you tend to surrender to the trend and thereby do its bidding to defeat yourself. Giving in and admitting that you rarely win, you abandon the hope that even God could salvage the delusion of failure you’ve already accepted. Armed with everything you needed from the outset and in a moment of defeat, apropos of nothing, laid your weapons down to the ghost of a powerless enemy. The new man, searching for the comfort of old insecurities, jumped back into the old man’s aging body and halfheartedly waved a withering fist in protest as he contemplated his finishing before ever reaching the finish line.
You have forgotten who you are! The slingshot you’ve wielded, the trumpet you’ve played, the armies you’ve crippled under a righteous banner. The endless reservoir of holy thunder at your disposal for the cost of your belief. Pick up your stones, your pen, your feather, your unlikely weapons of war and march boldly into the confidence of the promise, void of the fear of frightening things; knowing that the power of God you’re shrouded in, will move all things.

“So Jesus said to them, “ Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20 (NKJV)
