So I am at a retreat this week. What a funny word, retreat. It makes me think of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. "Run away! Run away!" But really that is not it at all - at least in this instance. To retreat is not to run away from battle, but to step back, evaluate, regroup, and then return. To surrender is to run away from battle.
So let me say that this has been a great time. Retreating and just spending time worshipping the God I love. Retreating and connecting with other warriors who have been in the war for a lot longer than I have (for those who haven't looked or haven't guessed by the name RevKev, I am a youth pastor).
So if you are struggling in your battle, in your war called life, take some time to retreat. Fall back and spend some time with the ultimate strategist (if that is a word, spell check will tell me). Read over Luke 11:1-13 and hear Jesus' words: "Ask, seek, and knock."
