I sincerely hope our army of faithful soldiers is mighty and strong because this war is more than of human sin.
The important battle is indeed a spiritual one. Satan has many pawns in the game (there is a book by that title, Pawns in the Game). God's plan will be fulfilled.
Jesus wept. Heaven weeps. His sons and daughters and little children weep.
I do not give up hope, nor do I sense that you have. I pray with you and all here that the prayers and spiritual backup which we who love God are able to give our soldiers and those doing the heavy lifting is sufficient unto the day.
May God take our insufficiencies, and by the degree of sincerity and love, add to overflowing enough of His grace to overcome those insufficiencies to strengthen and encourage His wonderful servants on the ground. To HIM goes the Victory. To HIM goes the glory.
Our Old Testament Fathers and our Lord Jesus conveyed to us that there IS a Plan! I suspect that within His Plan there are MANY Plans which must be worked out and followed in order to fulfill HIS One Plan. We need to think in multiple meanings.
“Plan” can mean the tactics for this major battle we are in.... and we must trust in that. The Invasion of Normandy was a giant battle plan, just as the Q Plan. But over all we must trust in the ONE Plan!
Just some more wool gathering here.... a very sheepish and biblical type behavior, you know, having to do with shepards and sheep and stuff!
