Weapons and Worries ...

It is futile to think that leaving Corporate life will have lesser politics and weapons directed at us who have chosen to live our work life as worship unto God. Sadly it is not so even you choose to be out of the world. It is true indeed that God's Word is there to really protect and preserve us when faced in a vulnerable and difficult crisis situation. I can't see the motivation of one's heart but I can trust in God's promise.

But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from me. I, the LORD, have spoken! (Isaiah 54:17 NLT)

Beside seeing all the flaming arrows directed at the Saints of God, it is also very painful to suffer the wrath of worry and sleeplessness that accompanied the attack! Again we can take comfort in God's instructions.


"Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today." (Matthew 6:33-34 NLT)

The Prayer of Confession comforted my heart and soul. I have sin against God and my fellow friends through negligence, weakness and deliberate fault and I am truly sorry... Jesus forgives and restores! I can only look to you when I see Weapons and Worries!  Let us confess our sins, in penitence and faith, firmly resolved to keep God's commandments and to live in love and peace with all men.

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, we have sinned against you and against our fellow men, in thought and word and deed, through negligence, through weakness, through our own deliberate fault.
We are truly sorry, and repent of all our sins. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, who died for us, forgive us all that is past; and grant that we may serve you in newness of life to the glory of your name. Amen.
