Bring It On is a few years old but from a favorite singer of mine, Steven Curtis Chapman.
‘Cause I know I’ve got an enemy waiting
Who wants to bring me pain
But what he never seems to remember
What he means for evil God works for good
So I will not retreat or surrender
I’ve tried to live this in my Christian walk, it isn’t always easy but it sure helps me to remember from the book of Romans “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”
So through trials, one in particular for me was cancer, I continually ask the Lord “what do I have to learn from this?” and many times it’s a chipping away at my ego/hard-heart etc. and it’s usually something I don’t want to let go of.
I thank God He guides me through the process “so I will not retreat or surrender”!
