...The Lord will fight your battle

The beginning of the song says, "If I hold my peace, then the Lord will fight my battle, victory victory shall be mine." It got me to wondering, what is your limit? Now this wont sound like much of a sermon but David said, "Encourage yourself in the Lord" so y'all will excuse me if I go off on a tangent this week.

For those of you who do not know, I am a war veteran. Let me make this perfectly clear, I have been under fire and it was my job to make sure that the enemy died, plain and simple. The problem is, when you operate at a high level for a long period of time the human psyche cannot just "come down" and revert to normal behavior. The fact of the matter is, it has taken me approximately five years to get back to a semblance of normalcy. During this five year period I have done some dumb things and some dangerous things, fortunately GOD has kept me through them all, and for that I give HIM praise. However, when one has been through the things I have, seen the things I have seen (a lot of which I will NEVER discuss with any of you) there comes a point when you ask yourself, "Do I hold my peace? or Hold my piece?"

You see, the level of my recovery was reached and breeched a couple of days ago. I am not one who gets upset when I get cut off driving or when someone cuts in front of me in line. My level is when a family member is threatened, a child is assaulted or someone I love is in danger which causes me to ask, " Do I hold my peace, or hold my piece?"

I am at a point right now, where I must practice the things that I have been saying for the past month or so. As a person who believes in the healing power of GOD, I came to the realization that I am still human . I am still flesh and blood. So what do I do now? Do I hold my peace or hold my piece?

What do I do now? Well here is my recipe for victory:

(1) Pray

(2) Fast

(3) Sow a seed

(4) Pray again
