PLUNDER
Today's reading: Numbers 29-32

"All the fighting men had taken some of the plunder for themselves." Numbers 31:53 NLT

Plunder is, according to Merriam-Webster, the goods of another that have been taken by force.

It's a reward for fighting.

It's the spoils of a battle.

It's the hard won and fought for treasures of war.

I needed that this morning.

I needed reminding that I'm in this battle and there are moments I can enjoy the plunder of one battle as I gear up for the next.

I can accept the rewards of having stayed committed, having kept the disciplines of faith, of doing what God is leading me to do.

Because there are battles every single day. There are moments of every day when I defeat satan with my faith. There are fights I do not back down from. There are wars I get up each and every morning knowing I will fight--again.

But there is also plunder.

Today I will begin noticing it more!
