Fight the Good Fight of Faith

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. ~1 Timothy 6:12

Faith seems to come “easy” when God is blessing us and bringing us our every desire in life, but what about the times when life isn’t going so well? What about the times when we are faced with mountain sized challenges? How do we fight and win? Through FAITH my friends!

For every Christian, there will be times when we may be battling sickness, financial hardship, relationship problems, questions about God and why certain things are happening the way they are. These moments cause us to either do one of two things: (1) Turn away from God in confusion or anger and reject His promises or (2) Turn to God in desperate humility crying out for help, realizing that only He can bring us through.

This is the fight Paul was challenging Timothy with. Paul was saying that being a Christian is not easy, being a Christian is hard work, and at times being a Christian means following God and trusting in Him no matter what happens -- knowing that He is in control and will help us work through these situations for our good and His glory.

So, look up my friends! Lean on those promises and have faith!!! GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH!  

For Him,
