Meet with The Commander for your battles

​Monday’s Message

The moon still lingers in the morning sky
A crescent smile
As the sun slowly begins to rise
Creeping up above the horizon
And I breathe in a world so quiet
Yet your nature does not sleep
A beauty held still
Running deep
Only changing as the seasons meet
and as Your nature sings
Your presence seeps into me
A feeling of pure peace
Unsurpassable
Unfathomable
Relinquishing peace
and Your steady hand
Steadies me
As I prepare my day
You prepare Your feast
Chaining up my inner beast
Calming the monster inside of me
That speaks lies
and constantly pries
Gripping it’s claws into the inner corners of my mind
But You, my God
You see behind those devil eyes
and as I pray for peace
You shod my feet
Proclaiming steps so sweet
Fluidity
As a gazelle runs free
As mighty as a trunk of a tree
and You gird my loins
Preparing me
For the truth that I so desperately seek
Wrapping Your belt around me
My heart still rapidly pounding
About to burst out of me
But the coolness of Your breastplate confounds me
Reminding me I am a warrior
and the heaviness disappears
The monster no more
and as I hold Your sword in the air
Declaring victory
In this life given to me
My shield of faith
Bigger than me
Warping me into the soldier you called me to be
You place Your helmet on my head
Crowning me
With all salvation surrounding me
No weapon formed can bound me
And the sky painted pink
Now turns a perfect blue
As You tuck away the moon
And the sun shines
Giving light to a day anew
Now I am ready to fight for You
