Guarding....

Guarding....


Nahum 2:1
 An attacker advances against you, .... Guard the fortress, watch the road, brace yourselves, marshal all your strength!

There are days when I feel like I am living this verse in Nahum. He was warning against an attack on Nineveh, but it could just as easily been  me or those around me, relentless attack.....guarding myself, my emotions, I am bracing myself against the inevitable, gathering all my strength, prayer partners...against an attitude, a change, a force, a personality, a rumor,  a sin, a peace taker, etc, etc. Etc...

I feel like I have to do it alone...but no, I don't ....as much as I feel alone, I am not, as Jesus never leaves me or forsakes me, there are those who will stand with me....
God's  strength comes through ..in my weakness...He is the true guardian....the Holy
Spirit guides,whispering truth...to my beaten and longing soul...building up the fortress...guarding His own...thank YOU....
