No Turning back.

“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”
AW Tozer

Wow. I could read Tozer daily and be in awe of his simple but profound declarations. I wish I could've heard him speak before he passed in 1963.

It is absolutely spot on that what we think about God is the most important thing about us. What we believe (or do not believe) defines who we are and how we live. What we envision God as and who we perceive Him to be in relation to humanity is the most weighty part of our existence.

I find myself thinking so deeply the past couple months that I find it hard to put into writing.

It has been a constant internal battle with Satan and God over this school year... I wasn't really used to this. I used to be much more blind in my faith and less susceptible to doubt. However, since coming to school, I've been taking so many biblical studies classes (15 units including Biblical Interpretation/Spiritual Formation, Foundations of Christian Thought, Old Testament History and Literature, New Testament History and Literature, and Theology I) that have caused me to really evaluate and think heavily on who God is and where I am in my spiritual walk. This is when Satan has tried to step in.

It was really difficult at first not to become bitter and displaced. I felt my heart starting to harden, but soon I started to realize why the battles have become more intense. I am at the height of my knowledge about who God is, His Word, and who I am in Him. There's a strong spiritual warfare, but I honestly believe it is because Satan's fighting his last chance to win me over to his side. Before long, he knows there will be no turning back.

There is no turning back.

I know I serve a God that is triune, sovereign, self-sufficient, self-existent, transcendent, immanent, wise, faithful, just, merciful, gracious, holy, and good.
I serve a God that is omnipotent, omnipresent, and immutable in nature and promises.
I serve the Almighty Maker of heaven and earth.
I serve Yahweh, my loving Father.
