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.
But...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 must
fight the good fight of faith
AND contend with the daily cares and struggles of the Christian life!
We need to remind ourselves
that this life AND our daily circumstances are just
temporary. The best is yet to come!
So, Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.Colossians 3:2 NKJV
Today's
Action:
Today's Vitamin F is Fight.
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 everyday until we "lay hold on eternal
life,..."
