It's rainy out, oh the pathetic fallacy that always seems to accompany your own misery. You feel defeated, life feels so unfair, nothing is working out, and so you reach for a drink to lose yourself and slip out of reality only to be awakened to worse sorrow, anxiety beyond measure and sometimes even more severely, thoughts of suicide.
Our flesh, God's word teaches, looks for instantaneous pleasure to drown out pain and struggle, but the truth is: trying to conquer our battles with sin, will only kill us slowly, tortuously, and mercilessly inside and out.
We are called to fight the good fight of faith, to grow over time into spiritual warriors. Trials and tribulations will always come no matter who you are, it's part of this broken life on earth, but with God we CAN overcome!
There is a spiritual dimension, ( Ephesians 6), no doctor, psychiatrist, weather man, politician, or "professional" will ever really want to discuss. But how can we rule out spiritual phenomena that influences our physical lives when it IS a factor that influences our daily lives? Because of warfare in a spiritual realm, we must wake up from the sleep we have fallen into living in the chains of the flesh and realize that we need to pray, read God's WORD( it is called a sword for a reason, ) worship the LORD in all we do, share the gospel to bring hope to others and fear the LORD in all obedience to stay under HIS wings of Sovereign and divine protection.
So although pain may last for the night as spiritual battle takes place, invisible to the human eye that is not in the Spirit, and though we must realize when we are being tested and conquer through prayer and bible reading, captivating our every thought in Christ; joy will come in the morning should we stay close to GOD ALMIGHTY YAHWEH, who defies all reasoning of science or theories and methods, God still does miracles!
