SPIRITUAL VITAMIN F: FIGHT
“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called…” 1 Timothy 6:12 (NKJV)
Today’s Thought:
Why does it say “fight”? Because some days it is a fight just to exercise our faith.
Satan throws his darts, the world sets its snares, our flesh is weak, and so we become discouraged, worried or frightened.
So, we need to remember that the battle is won in our minds!
Romans 12:2 says: “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
Therefore, we need to remind ourselves that this life AND our daily circumstances are just temporary. The best is yet to come!
We must fight the good fight of faith AND contend with the daily cares and struggles of the Christian life by keeping our mind on the prize of eternal life not on the things of this earth.
“Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.” Colossians 3:2 NKJV
Today’s Action: Fight with Faith
Fight to focus on keeping your faith strong and healthy.
Read the word and pray to strengthen your faith for “the just shall live by his faith.” Habakkuk 2:4 NKJV
Remember! We have an eternal life in Christ, but we need to fight the good fight of faith while we are still alive here on the earth.
So, let’s set our focus on keeping our faith fit today so we will be strong and able to “Fight the good fight of faith” today and every day until we “lay hold on eternal life,…”
- FAITH FIGHTS SATAN’S STRATEGIES
…above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. Ephesians 6:16 - FAITH STRUGGLES AGAINST THE FLESH
See that you do not become sluggish but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Hebrews 6:12 - FAITH OPPOSES THE WORLD
And this is the victory that has overcome the world–our faith. 1 John 5:4
