Eye Opening

My eyes are beginning to open.  I can no longer see this world naively.  There is a battle going on that demands my attention.  I have a choice to make.  Will I duck my head in the sand and pretend that what looms around me doesn't exist, or do I stare this thing in the face?  God has me on a crazy journey.  There is nothing special about me that qualifies me for this journey.  I'm not really sure why me?  Ephesians 6:12 has me all jacked up.  Enough that I started a new blog at 2:00 in the morning.  I don't have all the answers...I just have a million questions.  I want to see this world and life we are living from God's point of view.  What exactly is he seeing?  I'm deeply bothered by the things I encounter on this journey.  The further along I go, the more depressing the view gets.  Sin is everywhere.  You can't escape it.  The evidence that this world is broken in pieces glares at me constantly.  I see Satan win battles all the time and I'm sick of it.  Jesus has ultimately won the war but we seem to be blind and unappreciative of this reality.  We listen to the lies that Satan dishes out because our faith in Jesus is so small.  I'm committing all of my blog entries to exposing Satan and his lies.  I will show the difference between a mind that listens to Satan verses a mind that trusts in Jesus.  I want to hit on anything that causes destruction to our souls and families.  Anything that Satan tries to kill, steal, and destroy will be on my agenda.  I have no idea what I'm getting myself into but I know God will see me through.  Pray for me and my journey.  I want Jesus to be heard loud and clear.

"The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy.  My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life." John 10:10
