Seek Peace and Pursue It

Those are the words i heard in the middle of the night a few weeks ago.  

I didn’t know what to think. I am engaged in battle on several fronts and to achieve peace in my life I need to win all of those battles. 

I started thinking about my life and what I could do to seek peace.

Did it mean that God wanted me to refrain from these battles? I don’t think so because I know that He gave me a scripture to stand on for both of these battles.

So what did He mean? 

I think it was the manner that I chose to go about engaging in the battle.

Was I going to email my ex-husband threats or just serve him with court papers? 

Was I going to get myself thrown in jail for the Keystone Pipeline protest?

 Or would a better strategy be to post an intelligent blog about the Keystone Pipeline based on fact and maybe constitutional infringement which could incite others to contact their legislators?

Battles will come and go and it may not always be whether you win or not but how you fight that God may be observing. 

I intend to win on all fronts but I intend to do so with peace in my heart and compassion in my soul. I believe that if I fight in that manner then God will not retreat from the battle but will release his power to help me win.

    1. Believe me I can identify with Christ. I have been crucified in court more times than I can count and have been betrayed by everyone I ever loved. Identification is not the problem, surviving is.
