"Divine Weapons"
We have much to be thankful for, my friends. Even if this year has been a tough year for you, or if this time of year is always tough for you due to the circumstances you've faced or losses you've grieved, we have reason to give thanks and see evidence of God's faithfulness everywhere we look. Knowing that He is sovereign and that we have hope no matter what allows us to have the appropriate perspective regarding our struggles and the ways in which the enemy of our souls comes against us. It may be through circumstances, through temptations, or even through other people that he tries to wreak havoc in your life. Don't fall for it. Choose to fight your battles using the Lord's ways, rather than your own. This week at Friendship, we'll be talking about the "Divine Weapons" that are available to us particularly in conflict with others. And those weapons may not be what you think they are. Prayer, fasting, and worship are good, but the Lord's weapons are to follow the Lord's ways - gentleness, kindness, love, humility, sacrifice, forgiveness, servanthood, just to name a few. As the holidays are upon us and we spend more time with those close to us, we want you to be prepared for conflict with the tools which may be weak to man, but are mighty in God.
