Fight The Good Fight

 

1 Timothy 6:12 "Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses."

Paul's words to Timothy here speak to me as if he were telling them in this day and time.  Keeping our faith strong and on the right track in this tainted world is truly a daily fight.  We are faced with challenges big and small that undermine the validity of our faith in Him who made us and calls us to be His very own.  From the concern for not offending others who aren't like us, to the outright violence celebrated in TV Shows, movies and even on the evening news, there are millions of walls in our way towards taking hold of the life which God has called us to.  We need to keep Paul's words in the forefront of our minds so we can remember that we are not the only ones to have been called to action.  We're just in for the next round of a struggle that has been going on for thousands of years.  So put up your dukes my brothers and sisters in Christ!  Let us band together as an army of His children and battle as one family for our right to believe!  Say the word prayer without fear, speak of being blessed not lucky, spend each day living for Him and in return God will arm you for this good fight so we can have the ultimate victory...eternal life with Him!! I pray this week that you will stay strong, fight the good fight and wear the armor He gives you to stand in battle.  I ask that we please continue to pray for Summer's healing, for our soldiers safety and for each other.  I am in daily prayer of thanksgiving to our Lord for your continued support of my weekly messages and ask the He may please surround you daily with His love, favor, blessings & protection.

Love through Christ,
