Many say life is a struggle; one battle after another. No wonder someone spoke up and said, “Choose you battles wisely.”
As we face life’s challenges may we remember who we are and how we fit into the scheme of life. You are a prodigy of our Heavenly Father as a result of the redeeming work of the Lord Jesus Christ. This makes you very special and completely equipped to engage in life’s skirmishes.
Colossians 2:10: And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
We are complete in Christ! When we step into the arena of life facing the enemy and his strongholds, remember who you are! Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Our tactics in the ring are to “fight the good fight of faith.”
1 Timothy 6:11 & 12: But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed [confessed] a good profession [confession] before many witnesses.
The key points to remember from this:
- We flee: “the love of money.” See 1 Timothy 6:10.
- We follow after: righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and meekness.
- The fight is about believing, holding on to the truth of our eternal life and our calling that we confess openly.
Now do you see what the good fight is? You are now ready then, to enter the ring and be your best for our Heavenly Father!
Agape,

2 Corinthians 4:17 & 18: For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
