THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS BUT GOD’S

1 Peter 3:14 says But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed.  Do not fear their threats, do not be frightened.  There is a gentleman, who is afraid himself.  He has a weapon and doesn't know how to use it.  This young man is angry with me because he lost his job over a misunderstanding.  All this is a misunderstanding between two people that are going in different places in life.  The first person is myself.  The second is one of my accusers.  At least he had a job and a promising future.  Me, myself, I have written two books in one year.  My books are not selling right now.  Perhaps, I should have put more effort into it.  Whereas, the other person feels depressed right now.  Mom always told me to never allowed a monkey to stop my show.  I say that, just to say this if a man doesn't work, he doesn't eat. 2 Thessalonians 3:10.  Meanwhile, I was truthful in my matters.  All I am saying is never allow a misunderstanding to get worse.  It's a sore that doesn't heal.  The sore itself gets infected. The battle is not yours but God's.



The Battle has already been won, long before we all were born.  Frankly, I have been shot before.  When a man looks directly at his accusers, he has already been identified by God.  It looks like I am taking a little trip.  It happened before, on October 19, 1979, I was a freshman in high school when my closes friend shot me in the right leg.  At least I have something to remember it by.  I had surgery to repair a problem that is 40 years old.  I remember on Monday October 30, 2006, I had jaw surgery on my right side of my face.  I didn't know that my right mandible was fractured.  I guess if I didn't go to the dentist, I would have bled to death.  My bone marrow was leaking from my jaw.  What makes this situation different is that we are two African American Men, who are going through different paths of life.  Frankly, I took advantage of what the US Government has given all of us.  That is called Stimulus Money.  I decided to use my money to publish two books.  I got into trouble for fraud, but My charges were dropped because I used my stimulus money to publish two books.  The first one is called Essays and the second one is called My Grace is Sufficient for Me.  It was a present for myself.  The battle is not yours but God's.  I have my tax documents to prove that I have earned money from selling my Intellectual property.  I didn't earn very much money.  I guess it was the thought that counts.



Today is a brand new day for all of us.  It is an opportunity to make things happen in a positive way.  Lord God, I want to thank you for waking me up this morning.  I thank you for keeping it real with me.  Lord God I laugh right now because life itself is precious.  Life is really what you make out of it.  Life is a course that we choose to make.  At least for me, I have had it all.  To lose it it is a choice that I make for myself.  Right Now, I prefer to share my love and wealth.  This is an opportunity for two men to make a life for themselves.  All that we have is today.  Tomorrow is not promised to anyone.  If you read Proverbs 27:1 it states that do not boast about tomorrow for you never know what a day may bring forth.
