Fight Your Battle Righteously
I was reminded yesterday how it’s the people who are dedicated and determined to serve the Lord who satan is going to attack the fiercest. Jesus told us to rejoice when we are persecuted for doing well. It’s hard to embrace tribulation and persecution but in order to be the strong, victorious Christians God called us to be, we need to stand strong instead of crumbling when life begins to get rough.
In order for our trials to accomplish God’s purposes, we need to constantly examine ourselves in light of God’s Word and ask God to help us respond to life’s situations in a way that pleases Him. We may have “reasons” to be stressed, angry, fearful, etc. but God’s Word warns against these things. I’m still learning how to walk righteously in the midst of trials but I’m asking God to help me do so. No matter what satan throws at me, it’s imperative that I not give in to sin. We’ve been equipped with armor to fight the good fight and we have the most powerful captain who will guide us and help us win the battle if we heed His commands.
If you find yourself facing immense trials this week, get in the Word, spend more time singing and drawing near to God. You may ask God to remove the trial but position yourself to fight the battle righteously if He doesn’t.
