Ephesians 6:12New King James Version (NKJV)

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Today was a great day. I was having issues at work because another coworker was doing things that triggered negative emotions in me.

I understand that when people are rude and condescending it’s usually because they are hurting  inside. And that we do not fight against flesh and blood like Ephesians 6:12 says. So my issue was not with who did what or what they were saying, but the fact that I allowed their actions to upset me and make me feel bad.


Yesterday I mentioned the lady at church gave me a beautiful verse Romans 15:13

Romans 15:13New International Version (NIV)

13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.


----------------------------------------------------------------


So I repeated that along with Psalm 23. And everytime a negative thought would pop it’s head up, I will hit it with a song of praise or another bible verse.


Then I remembered that my God is the God of Isaac, Abraham and Jacob. That my God raised the dead, stopped the Sun and walked on water. Why was I so worry about my little ridiculous situation. Because to worry or feel distress or afraid means I am not trusting God.

----------------------------------------------------------------


Psalm 118:6King James Version (KJV)

6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

2 Timothy 1:7New King James Version (NKJV)

7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind

--------------------------------------------------------------


Psalm 23 (KJV)

23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
