“Contend!”
“Lord contend with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me"(Ps 35:1). ♥️🙏🏾 By faith, Joseph fled the fight against sexual temptation! Potiphar’s wife caught him by his cloak to pull him to bed, but he ran out of the house, leaving his garment in her hand (Gen 39:12). He never succumbed to her bed, which would have destroyed him and his promotion in Egypt. "...You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss..."(Jas 4:3).
"Sometimes we don't know we're in a battle for our lives, our souls, or even our very spirits! Just give all your burdens and battles to the Lord and be silent, 'for the Lord will fight for you' (Ex 14:14).
He will quiet every storm of doubt, self-pity, and fear. Know that nothing is too hard for our God, who is the Lord of all possibilities!"
