Battle I

Growing up in the Church, I often sang a song that had the line, "In heavenly armour we'll enter the land/ The battle belongs to the Lord/ No weapon that's fashioned against us will stand/ The battle belongs to the Lord..." This theme of battle has always jived with my Christian worldview- with my Christian metaphysic, more specifically. I have had a somewhat hard time in the easiest place to live on earth. To imagine this as a battle is no stretch at all.

When you feel abandoned, it can feel like a fight to do everything. It is no small thing that Christ has not abandoned me or you. And no small thing that the imagery is there in the Word.
