“No man that warreth entangleth himself with
the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a
soldier.” 2 Tim 2:4
Prepare
yourself for battle, but let God do the fighting; it’s His battle not yours if
you chose to get Him in it (1 Sam 17:47). Your efforts to walk in the
righteousness of God is an enduring battle; satan want fight you while your
sinning, only when you’re trying to get out of it. “Know that the weapons of warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God
to the pulling down of strongholds.” (2 Cor 10.4) Don’t grow worrisome in
your battle and ask God to simply change your circumstances, instead turn them
into worship and watch Him turn your battles into blessings. Paul illustrated to
Timothy the comparison of soldiers and athletes who conditioned and disciplined
themselves to sacrifice for what was worthy to fight for. Battles are typically not for the faint of
heart, it requires you to be warrior not a worrier. The greatest battle you’ll
face is Faith vs Fear; requiring you stand in the former in order to conquer
the latter. Don’t get blinded by a battle and fail to realize God has already
won the war.
You
can’t make the same mistake twice, the second time it’s a choice.
