Turning

What does "stealing my soul" mean? It's being robbed of peace of mind, mostly, so that the soul is not cooperating with the Plan. Lacking faith and focusing on difficulties instead of keeping our eyes on Jesus. Having fear in place of joy and peace. Becoming distracted, depleted, and misdirected from our mission and effectiveness. This is definitely being robbed and ripped off in soul, mind, body, and momentum. Jesus has already obtained the victory and we are in Him and He is in us. So we can be assured in Him and his word that we are going to really come through and be okay--No! Better and stronger than before. It may take some choices, effort, and persistence on our part, but in the process we can turn our ship around. Think of what it takes to turn a ship around--space, time, energy and a definite decision to initiate the action. The ship has somewhere to go and staying on course to get there is much like holding our ground. Having put on God's complete armor, we stand firmly in our place. We are learning to stand with each of these decisions to trust God and His grace and by not accepting the robbery that could easily keep us way-laid.
