Scripture of the Day
Psalm 13:2 (NIV)
“World Class Wrestler”
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
------------------------------------------
Sometimes I am a world-class wrestler! I find myself spending too much time wrestling with the things of this world! I wrestle with my finances. I wrestle with time management! I wrestle with fleshly desires! Sometimes . . . I even wrestle with my walk in the LORD! And I don’t think that I am the only world-class wrestler! Because, when I look around . . . is see others being pinned to the mat as well! Wrestling with some of the same things! It’s as if satan throws the scared cat in the shower with us and watch us wrestle and scratch our way out!
When I get caught up in wrestling with this world, my heart grows full of sorrow! Believe it or not . . . sorrow can be a Christians enemy! We are suppose to rejoice . . . yet after a few rounds, we are exhausted and full of sorrow! How long will the enemy triumph over us! We must give up our title as the World Class Wrestler and become a Spirit Filled Warrior! When the world grabs hold of you and tries to wrestle you to the ground . . . get as close as you can to the edge of the ring, because GOD will have HIS hand out for you! And when HE steps into the ring . . . it’s over!
If you don’t watch wrestling . . . you probably won’t get this one! But if you have been wrestling with the things of this world . . . you know exactly what I am saying!

I use to wrestle a lot, but I'm so thankful and blessed to know that God will take my yoke upon his shoulders, and he will make my burdens lighter... What a mighty God we serve. No more wrestling for me!!
You know I am a wrestler and man this one really hits home. I am/have had these kind of matches with God and life many times. Thanks for this message and the way you put it speaks directly to me.
