“…The battle is not ours, but God’s.” II Chronicles 20:15. I don’t know why, but this scripture always comes to me following a battle instead of when the battle begins. My natural instinct is to fight with my own strength and when I struggle is when I will remember to surrender it. It would seem that this lesson would teach me but in this area I am a slow learner. Maybe all of us are in this boat together. No matter what, I’m going to continue to surrender for I never want to be anything but a follower of Jesus and to let His Holy Spirit have His way within me.

I love how patient Jesus Christ is and how He never gives up with anyone of us!
