DROP YOUR SWORD: When it's OK to give up fighting

DROP YOUR SWORD NOW!

It seems like a strange response when an army of onslaught continues towards you.

You have fought before.

Still carry the scars, bruises, and maybe a permanent limp.

The enemy is still in position; plotting and readying another attack.

There is no exit pass off the battlefield.

No retreat.

No escape.

No surrender.

Yet I just have a sense that I don't have to fight this one.

I may have eyeballed giants before but I am tired and battle weary.

I have limitations of body, mind, and spirit.

This one is a fight I don't have to engage in.

Now HE says 'just stand'.

I still have strength for that.

Watch HE who is able to do more than I could ask or imagine do exactly what only He can.

Look...see....

You don't need a sword this time.

Just open eyes to view, witness, and wonder... and the faith to hear and obey regardless of the current perspective.

Stand and see beyond...!
