Upheaval

upheaval (noun) - a violent or sudden change or disruption to something.
___________________________

That word can be used to describe much in our world today. It seems like every issue, big or small, produces more and more upheaval. Never in history has a public platform existed as it does today, where information, fact or fiction, can circle the globe in minutes. Son, I warn you because I believe this platform is where our enemy wants us to fight our battles.

June 8, 2020 – I am so conflicted inside. Like everyone, I want to put certain issues behind us as a people. The thing is, I feel that all our efforts will fall woefully short unless we dig deeper and address our true enemy. Through social media, Satan has our focus firmly fixed on attacking and correcting humanity, all the while continuing to stir the pot of strife, hatred, and war. Paul was right. We must not be conformed to this world. We must not fight against flesh and blood. We must take our stand, but not to please others or mimic the lost world’s response. We must be different. We must jump out of the strong current of upheaval. Otherwise we are not standing and leading, but rather being swept along with everyone else. It is time to take our battle and lay it at the feet of Jesus. He has won the high ground, and it’s time we face our enemy from that vantage point.
___________________________

Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men… Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
-Romans 12:17-18; 21 (NASB)
___________________________

We must learn how to fight our battles on our knees and disarm our enemy with a life of honor, peace, and good deeds.
