What I am struck by is the discrepancy of the noise.
There is the pleasant sound of the music; there is the more complex, less pleasing, sound of a certain struck chord.
I started thinking about the two words, encapsulating the “music.”
Consonance and Dissonance.
First, Consonance: the definition…
“Agreement, compatibility.”
Simple enough explanation, huh?
It’s easy. It’s not forced. It flows.
Now, the opposite.
Dissonance: the definition…
“Lack of harmony, clash, tension, harshness.”
You and I know, unfortunately, what THAT looks like.
Dysfunction, chaos, upset, heartache.
There is abuse.
Everything is so difficult. There appears to be too much resistance.
This is not from The Most High.
“For (The Most High) is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.”
1 Corinthians 14:33
We battle not against people. We battle with spiritual forces instead.
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
Ephesians 6:12
What forces are you battling with right now?
What is going on with you right now? How confused are you?
Do you have peace?
Let’s Pray.
ABBA-
I come to You, in The Name of Yahshua, Your Son, My Savior.
You know what I hear and feel in my life right now.
You know the harshness, the confusion, the pain, and the discord I am dealing with.
Forgive and help me for opening any doors that have let in those things that are not of You.
Help me to recover and find Peace. Your Peace.
Do for me that which I cannot do for myself.
Silence and destroy the lies against me and against my life.
Give me wisdom about how to next move forward.
Restore Your Peace, Your Love, Your Blessings, and Your Favor for my life.
Help me. Protect me. Guide me.
Thank You.
I receive it, in Yahshua’s Name.
Amen.
