1 Timothy 6:12
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
Did you ever notice how exhausted you are after an argument? When I was a teacher, I was trained in crisis management. We learned about the there stages your body goes through during a blow-up after a trigger is put in place. You have the escalation where your blood just starts pumping. That leads to the climax where you hit your max limit. You know that spot where you can’t even see straight, sometimes literally. Finally, you hit de-escalation. Students during this point it isn’t unusual to actually fall asleep. You have expended all your energy and need to reboot. So let me ask you this? If you are going to put that much energy into something shouldn’t it be worth it?
Have you ever heard the statement, “Pick your battles”? Well, God is so worth the battle. The best thing about fighting for the good fight of faith is God provides all the strength you need. There is no de-escalation needed. As a matter of fact, the climax will not make you lose control, it will help you gain it. The harder you fight the more clearly you will see. All you need right now is that trigger to start the fire. Then feed that fire and let it burn bright. Don’t give up! Keep fighting the good fight. The prize is so worth it!
Lord, I want to be the Champion! Give me the strength to fight the good fight of faith. ~amen
