Philippians 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
Spiritual warfare can wear on you after a while.
Our minds and bodies can become tired from the constant onslaught and the endless battles we face and fight each day. This is even more true when it comes to lengthy battles.
At some point, we need a reprieve; a break in the battles that are waged against our minds, where the enemy likes to play the most.
The verse above is just; a prescription for peace of mind and a rest in between battle fronts.
God’s word is absolutely the best weapon we have against so many of the things that we fight with.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s mental fatigue, anxiety, or even physical exhaustion. God’s word holds the cure.
We need to be sure to set time aside to dig into His word and feast on it, so we will have the words of God firmly embedded in us, allowing us to draw from that well at any point in time, allowing us to meditate and ponder on the goodness of God in a split second.
It doesn’t matter if we need His reassurances, His promises, His peace, His mercy or His grace.
We find it all in His word. And it’s when we meditate on it that He rebuilds our strength, eases our minds, renews our spirit and even cleanses our heart.
So, don’t give up the fight. Meditate, instead, on the things of God that heal us and bring strength to us again.
Psalm 51:10 (NKJV) 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
