I don't generally like the way we talk about spiritual war because it seems those big, cataclysmic moments. If you think about all of our lives here in this room, most of us won't be written up in history books. Several decades after we die, the people we leave behind will struggle to remember the events of our lives.
We Live Our Lives in the Utterly Mundane
We only make three or four big decisions our entire life. We live our life lives in the utterly mundane. You live your life in little moments. You could argue that the character of a person's life, the trajectory of a person's life is not set in three or four big moments, but in ten thousand little moments. It's the ten thousand little moments that really do influence who you are and what you're doing and the big choices you make.
So that war takes place in little moments, in little unremarkable days and maybe, my response to big trouble is really the legacy of the forgetfulness and neglect that's going on that sets me up for not being able to deal with this big moment of trouble because I haven't taken life seriously in the mundane little moments.
