Report Article
Unfortunately I have had to be in many fights in my sinful life.
The majority of instances were caused by sin, very few for the cause of Christ.
I can remember bullies in my youth, and it was inevitable that one day you would have to fight.
I can still recall the nervousness I felt when standing in a group, and seen them come into sight.
There were also many fights that come to fruition because of some game.
Many were with my own brother, and all of these occasions cause me much shame.
On the night of my salvation, I thought that my fighting days had come to an end.
How shallow my thinking, for I was unaware of my Great Foe, that I found would stop at nothing to win.
He never tires of fighting and oft times he will jump on me before I get out of bed.
Even if by some means I muster the victory, he’s ready to fight again for I cause him no dread.
I am finding out that the few victories I’ve had where I won, are not even mine to claim.
For there was one fighting for me in those instances, so my weakness and dependence bring me much shame.
Because of my intense dullness, it took me awhile to realize what was taking place.
If I follow God’s order the victories will be more regular when I’m influenced by the God of all Grace.
Yet I’ve another battle on the horizon, and this one though I’ll lose, yet I still get to win.
Because to be absent from the body is to be present from the Lord, forever then living with him.
I realize when this Final Battles comes to a head, that my physical bod will fight to hol one.
To lose here is to gain the victory as I’m being transplanted to my heavenly home.
Seek the Lord early each day, for the power that you need to fight against your old man.
No need to waste time dreading the final battle, for no man can pluck you from the Father’s hands.
