1 Corinthians 16:13-14
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.
The best defense is a good offense is usually said by coaches, players and sports fans alike. However it was first said by George Washington in 1799, “…offensive operations, often times, is the surest, if not the only means of defense.” Hmmm…maybe he wasn’t the first to say it. I could argue that Paul had that idea in mind when he said “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.”
We are not to just wait around for life to come at us. We are to prepare by staying strong in our faith. We spend time in the word, praying, speaking with other Christians and just plain drawing nearer to God. This will make you courageous and strong.
That last part is probably the most important. When you do have to attack make sure you are doing it out of love. Don’t let your pride get in the way. Pride is the true root of every sin and love is the answer to everyone of them! So go out on the offense with LOVE!
Thank You Lord for the best playbook in the world that is prepared for all of the other teams tactics. ~Amen
