0721 你的争战已成为我的争战
仇敌如同洪水一般临到，要将你淹没在心痛和幻灭之中。这仿佛是一场永无止境的争战，然而，你仍然站立。你虔诚祷告，你已竭尽所能；即便如此，你仍看不到突破。亲爱的，我来告诉你：即使你疲惫不堪，但不要灰心丧气；即使你心如刀绞，也要把痛苦交托给我。我正在为胜利筹划着。
仇敌来，是要偷窃、杀害、毁坏；但我来，是要赐给你丰盛的生命。你的争战，就是我的争战。不要被眼见的所迷惑。仇敌想要欺骗你，让你以为牠已经得胜，以为一切都不会改变，只会越来越糟。但牠是个骗子！不要再听牠的！亲爱的，看着我。仅仅因为你看不见我正在做的，也不表示我没有在为你的突破精心安排一切。你一直在盯着眼前的困境，但我呼召你超越环境之上，并提前宣告你的胜利，即使你已经这样做过无数次，也不要停止。此刻，我再次将盼望注入你的心中。我已在你前面发出怒吼，为你开辟道路。
你记念我所有的漂泊和哭泣，你把我的眼泪装在你的瓶子里——没有一滴会丢失，因为它们都被记录在你的纪念册上。就在我向天父祢呼求帮助的那一刻，战局开始逆转，我的仇敌便逃跑了。我深知一件事：上帝站在我这一边！—— 诗篇56:8-9
0721 Your battles have become mine.
The enemy has come like a flood to drown you in heartache and disillusionment. It has felt like a never-ending battle. Yet, you have stood. You have prayed. You have done all you know to do. Still, you’re not seeing the breakthrough. Beloved, I have come to tell you: though you are weary, do not faint. Though your heart aches, release the pain to me. I am planning the victory.
The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but I have come to give you life in abundance. Your battles have become my battles. Don’t be deceived by what you see. The enemy wants to trick you into thinking he’s won, that nothing will ever change except to get worse. But he’s a liar! Stop listening to him! Look at me, beloved. Just because you don’t see what I’m doing, doesn’t mean I’m not orchestrating your breakthrough. You’re staring at the circumstances, but I’m calling you to rise above them and declare your victory in advance, even if you’ve done it a million times already. Right now, I’m breathing hope into you again. I have gone before you with a roar, and I’m breaking open the way.
You’ve kept track of all my wandering and my weeping. You’ve stored my many tears in your bottle–not one will be lost. For they are all recorded in your book of remembrance. The very moment I call to you for a father’s help the tide of battle turns and my enemies flee. This one thing I know: God is on my side! –PSALM 56:8-9
