1.) poor health.

2.) unruly children.

3.) financial bondage.

4.) physicalÊand emotional abuse.

5.) difficult people in the workplace.

8.) unfairness, unkindness, and some degree of hatred (some how, some way, somewhere); as the list goes on.

There will always be wars and rumours of war because ... there is no new thing under the sun (Ecclesiastics 1:9c). In the world ye shall have tribulation (John 16:33b),Êand that's the way it is.

All these things must comeÊbefore they canÊpass, (and thankfully, they do pass) but the end is not yet (Matthew 24:6b).

At any given time, you have the God given right toÊput an end to your spiritualÊwarfare. However, freedomÊisn't yours until you choose it. And, how to do that is toÊstop living 'under the sun' and start living in it.

The Lord God is a sun (shield). Psalm 84:11a The sun is the brightest light,Êfor whichÊ'walking in that light' dispels all darkness: providingÊone's shield of faith. Having experienced that shield, I say this, "It is notÊjust aÊ'piece of metal' in front of us, it is a whole dad-gummed dome! Absolutely nothing can touch us when walking in His light!"

The Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Psalm 84:11b

Watch ye therefore, and pray always (get your every next step of instruction from God), that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36
