Spiritual Warfare

Honey called yesterday. It was his "today". He is so discouraged. I am sad. I want to be there to help him...to encourage him...to hug him. Even though he is tough, solid as a rock, and strong in his faith, even though he is a soldier and 'Army Strong!", he is still human. And weak. And a target of the enemy. Honey is not really a talker....and rarely gets mad. But he has had his fill, that is for sure. I could tell because he talked today. A lot. And he was mad. He is very patient, and almost always gives others the benefit of the doubt. Not so this time. He realizes that not everyone is going to love God, and not everyone is in a good mood all the time. Especially in the desert, where it is HOT and where it is a war zone. He also knows Army protocol and when enough is enough and mistreatment is an injustice. Honey is dealing with a war of his own right now. It is not a war against flesh and blood, although it may appear that way. It is an attack straight from Hell and the enemy. So, as I listened I prayed. I can't do much from my side of the world except pray. And that is what I did. God knows the hearts of men. He knows what Honey is facing and the outcome and future. He also loves HIS children and will defend them. That is a promise! I am claiming it for Honey. Here is my prayer for you, incredible Warrior of mine....
Psalm 91
1 Hans dwells in the shelter of the Most High. Hans will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [
a]
2 Hans will say [
b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely HE will save Hans from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover Hans with HIS feathers, and under HIS wings Hans will find refuge; HIS faithfulness will be Hans' shield and rampart.
5 Hans will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at Hans' side, ten thousand at Hans' right hand, but it will not come near him.
8 Hans will only observe with his eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If Hans makes the Most High his dwelling—even the LORD, who is his refuge-
10 then no harm will befall him, no disaster will come near Hans' tent.
11 For HE will command his angels concerning Hans to guard him in all his ways;
12 they will lift Hans up in their hands, so that Hans will not strike his foot against a stone.
13 Hans will tread upon the lion and the cobra; Hans will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue Hans; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 Hans will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with Hans in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy Hans and show him my salvation."
