When I discovered the art of choosing my battles wisely – I decided to never lose it. Not every battle involves my purpose or my destiny. Hence it does not require my attention. Not every question needs to be answered. Not every question needs to be asked. Though they vie for my attention – not everything deserves a space in my head or heart. The battles I’ve been called to fight are those I have been armed and strengthened for. All others are distractions. The intent is to derail my focus. To invite me to give my strength to things that do not matter in light of my God-given purpose.
It’s okay to walk away. It’s okay to take the lower ground. It’s okay not to be invited to the table. It’s okay to put my weapon down and trust the God who knows best. He has never lost a battle. Understanding this way to preserve my peace has been one of my greatest find in life. I intend to keep it.
But you will not even need to fight. Take your positions; then stand still and watch the LORD ‘s victory. He is with you….Do not be afraid or discouraged. 2 Chronicles 20:17
