Be willing to fight!

Ephesians 6: 10

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

 

I remember as a kid, when I began to learn more about the game of football.

I saw a guy field a punt one Sunday, but before he did so, he made the sign of the cross.

I asked my older brother, if he thought that helped, and his reply was… “Only if he can catch the ball—If he can’t catch, it won’t help”

 

God in the Bible, gives us a specific picture of the life of a believer in Christ.

He calls it a war—a race and a fight.

 

God is clear, that He has an integral part in the midst of the battle, but so do we.

Are you in a spiritual battle today? If not, just wait around for a few minutes, and see what happens.

 

We can pray all we want, but if we’re not willing to engage the enemy, all the signs of the crosses and prayer won’t help, if you we’re not willing to fight.

Yes, we should depend on God’s strength for sure, but we shouldn’t expect Him to do all the work.

 

After verse 10, there is an action verse, required of every believer. Are you doing what it says? If not, then put it on!

Just remember this…God supplies all the resources we will ever need in the heat of the fight—but we must supply the effort…
