Preparing for the Good Fight

Preparing for the Good Fight
Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses.  —1 Timothy 6:12 NLT
Being a Christian does not mean you are problem-free​. Even though you are a child of God, you will still have to deal with difficult situations throughout your life.
As children, many of us sang this song in Sunday school or Vacation Bible School:
I may never march in the infantry
Ride in the cavalry
Shoot the artillery
I may never fly o’er the enemy
But I’m in the Lord’s army!
Yes Sir!
Battles will come. Persecution will come. You will have to fight deception, guard yourself against occasional unforgiveness and bitterness, and struggle against unbelief. You will have to dislodge fear before it disarms you and makes you vulnerable to further assaults.
You have been drafted into the army of God, so be prepared to fight the good fight of faith!
