Promised Land

For today’s entry I felt led to post the lyrics to one of the things I listen to daily, a great reminder of the options that are set before me and who it is I want to become.  This is on an album entitled “Promised Land” by Christian

“The wilderness wanderings of the Israelites have now come to an end, and it’s time for them to enter in to the Promised Land.  Though it was going to be challenging and exciting, it was not going to be easy because they were going to face full-blown war with the inhabitants of the land.  This battle was started on the day of your conversion and it will rage until the day you go to heaven.  You as a follower of Jesus will be targeted, harassed, hassled, and attacked.  Why?  Simply put, because Satan does not want you to follow Jesus Christ.  So here are the two choices that you have before you:  You’re either going to be victorious or you’re going to be defeated.  You’re either going to advance or you’re going to retreat.  You’re either going to stay in the wilderness or you’re going to enter into the Promised Land…or you’re going to be an overcomer or be overcome.”

I have been in this wilderness for far too long, I am tired of singing the same old song.  The scenery around here seems to be on repeat, I am exhausted from having walked in my own defeat.  So today I choose to be that overcomer, to step in line with the beat of a new drummer.  I will not look back nor turn my face away, for victory through Jesus is mine today!  Grace and peace to you as you step out of the known into the unknown, from the wilderness into your Promised Land!
