✝️ Understanding God’s Decisions
Sometimes life doesn’t make sense. We get hurt. We feel lost. We ask God, “Why this? Why now?”
But Ephesians 6:12 reminds us—the real fight isn’t what we can see.God’s decisions are often based on battles we don’t even know are happening.
He sees the spiritual war. He sees the trap before it’s set. He sees what the enemy is planning—and He’s preparing you.
🥋 What This Means in Martial Arts
As martial artists, we train for what we can’t predict:
A surprise attack
An unseen move
A hidden weapon
We prepare our mind, body, and spirit so we’re not caught off guard.
In the same way, God is training us through His Word, His timing, and His decisions.
When He says “wait,” He may be protecting you.When He says “no,” He may be redirecting you.When He allows trials, He’s strengthening your faith.
🪖 The Camo Belt Reminder
At CTL, the Camo Belt represents camouflage—a soldier trained to survive and move with wisdom.
God wants us to be spiritually aware, not just physically strong.
He’s not just building warriors.He’s building spiritual soldiers.
👣 What You Can Do
Put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:13-17)
Stay alert to what’s happening around you and inside you
Don’t fight the wrong battle—pray before reacting
Stay in your training—both martial and spiritual
🕊️ Final Thought
We’re not just here to block, strike, and kick.We’re here to stand firm in faith, even when the world shakes.
So when life feels unfair, slow, or confusing—remember:God is guiding you through a bigger battlefield.
Trust His wisdom.Train your spirit.And keep showing up ready.
Because you don’t wrestle against flesh and blood.You’re fighting for something greater.
