Some battles are yours to fight. They're worth every drop of sweat, every ounce of blood and countless tears. Others have already been won. They've already been fought. Some battles, we try to spill enough of our own blood to claim the victory. We continually run to the front lines, arrogantly trampling over sacred ground, where blood has already been spilled for us.
Just as well as His blood covers a multitude of sins, so it also covers multiple battles. What would a faith that waves a clean, unblemished flag of surrender look like? Certainly not the ones I wave.
We wave a blood-soaked 'surrender' flag in His face as if to say, "look, Jesus, look what this cost me!"
Instead of, "Ok, Jesus, Your blood was more than enough."
The bloody white flag of surrender we wave is only bloody because of our self-inflicted wounds.
Pride. Stubbornness. Selfishness. Greed. Glory-hogging and stinking agendas.
Oh that we would know, no weapon formed against us will prosper. And oh that we would know...that His blood works, better than ours ever will.
