Dear Patriots, I’m back. The last two months before the presidential election I was touring battle ground states in a full press effort to defeat our lying tyrannical dictator in chief.<\/p>\n

After licking my wounds, counting my blessings, kissing my wife, trusting God and a little rest (Well, not really – Mary has a list of Honey-Do projects), I am ready to continue fighting to restore the greatest nation on the planet.<\/p>\n

\nLloyd’s Life Lessons: In Battle, Listen & Trust God To Be Your General<\/strong><\/p>\n

An incident confirmed three truths. One – God will fight my battles. Two \u2013 No weapon formed against me shall prosper. Three \u2013 Trust God!<\/p>\n

I am a singer, songwriter and entertainer who tours nationally. Every tour with one particular company, I always performed early in the show until something unexpected happened.<\/p>\n

A world renowned celebrity was scheduled to make a special guest appearance which equaled extensive media coverage. I thought it wise to check the format of the show because I knew one act was stealthily conspiring to promote themselves by under-minding the other acts. I learned years earlier that true promotion comes from God \u2013 not via dirty tricks.<\/p>\n

My suspicion was correct. The conniving act was moved up to my spot. Though angry and a bit hurt, experience has taught me to stabilize my emotions before reacting.<\/p>\n

I calmly asked the stage manager to explain why my performance was moved down in the show. Obviously uncomfortable, he referred me to his boss. His boss gave me a rambling senseless answer. The bottom line was the conniving act had successfully stolen my spot.<\/p>\n

As I stood in front of management ready to argue for my well-earned position in the show, a still small voice in my brain instructed me, \u201cSay OK, turn, and walk away.\u201d<\/p>\n

My wife Mary, upset about this latest attack of my Nemesis anxiously awaited to know the result of my meeting with management. I told her, \u201cI don’t know what this is about, but I have decided to trust God\u201d.<\/p>\n

The renowned celebrity excited and captivated the audience. Afterward, the TV cameras and media along with the audience’s attention continued to follow the celebrity off stage.<\/p>\n

The emcee introduced the conniving act, but nobody cared. Their performance was overshadowed by the lingering presence of the renowned celebrity; media seeking interviews and audience seeking autographs.<\/p>\n

When the celebrity retired to back stage, the emcee gave me an unexpected enthusiastic and glowing introduction. I was received with thunderous applause. All the TV cameras, media and the audience’s attention were refocused back to the stage. Wow! I could not have planned it better. My performance was a huge hit. The audience applauded seeking an encore.<\/p>\n

Whatever God has planned for you can not be taken away by man. God had my back.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.\u201d 2 Chronicles 20:15<\/p>\n
