It’s a battle
It’s a war
But you can’t see the arrows
And you can’t see the swords
It cuts to the bone and marrow
It divides a house and home
It rips apart a family
It leaves you feeling alone
But we don’t fight against flesh and blood
But against the rulers and authorities
The power of this world’s darkness
Against the spiritual powers of evil
In the heavenly world.
But we don’t give up
We dawn the full armor of God
We pray at all times
And on our feet we wear the Good News of peace to stand strong
We tie the belt of truth around our waist
And right living on our chest
With our shield of faith we stop arrows
We wear the helmet of Salvation to cover our heads
We stand strong in the Lord
His presence is our peace
We are not overcome
When the battle rages on
For we know this war can’t be lost
The battle has already been won
It was finished on the cross. ❤

Jesus Predicts His Death a Second Time
They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were, because He was teaching His disciples. He said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill Him, and after three days he will rise.”
Mark 9:30-31
It Is Finished ❤
“After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.”
John 19:28-30
Reminder: Jesus created the tree that would bare His weight and the weight of our sin.
“And everyone who thus hopes in Him purifies himself as He is pure.”
1 John 3:3

Canada. We’re on strict measures here for a while yet, but there are talks of easing off some on the restrictions at least in our part of the Country, but health care officials will have to be extra vigilant, and strict restrictions could be up again in the Fall months. The cases of the virus here aren’t too high yet. Both my husband and I do have health problems so we are staying isolated as much as we can. We aren’t wealthy, but we’re rich in spirit. ☺
