Fight it out with God
There is no sense trying to battle out the issues of my life with anyone but God. If the truth were known I’m a bit afraid to step into the ring with God not because I see Him as a mean creator but because He knows me better than I know myself. God doesn’t put up with my crap and He sees through all my games.
What if the two of us (Rick and God) climb into that secret place and He calls me out? With you people I can use my best public relations tools to manipulate the fight and increase my chances of winning.
Oswald Chambers puts it this way: “I must get the thing settled between myself and God in the secret places of my soul where no stranger intermeddles, and then I can go forth with the certainty that the battle is won.”
The reason the battle is not won and I keep fighting this thing over and over and over again: I try to fight it out in the seen world when the true battlefield is in the recesses of my spirit.

Rick, what’s to fear? At the end of the fight, after all the gamesmanship, God will still love you! What do you have to lose? Gary
