Wrestling With Yourself 5/14/2024

 Good Morning, 

It is time for a hot cup of Door County Mocha Mint Coffee and today I will skip breakfast. It is time to write. 

Decisions, decisions, decisions. You can't have even one day without deciding on something. Some decisions are easy and really don't place any weight on a day. For instance I chose to skip breakfast today and just have a cup of orange juice and a cup of coffee. Not really a big deal as far as decisions go.

But there are days when you have to decide on something and it has a huge impact on your life or the lives of others. You know the decision you need to make, but then there are added nuances that make you doubt yourself. The wrestling match begins. It starts in your head, and moves to your heart and what was once very clear, is now a cloudy mess at best. 

The best way to stop the wrestling match is to take you out of your own head, and start listening to God and then, don't waver on what He says or shows you. A lot of sleepless nights and ulcers could be avoided if we trusted ourselves less and trusted in God completely.

Psalm 9:10 ESV And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you O Lord have not forsaken  those who seek you. 

Proverbs 3:5 ESV Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 

Stop wrestling with yourself. It's really the devil who is getting you to wrestle with yourself. 

Food for thought,

Marty
