Discover Your True Worth With Lindsay RobertsUkážka

First Timothy 6:12 says we are to “fight the good fight of faith.” The spiritual war—not just a cosmic conflict between good and evil, but even the battle for our sense of worth—is a fixed fight spiritually speaking, designed so that we win. Since God has already given us a measure of faith, according to Romans 12:3, we can fight a good fight by using our faith to see our victory. . . . In addition, I can believe for victory in every battle because I can do all things through Christ who gives me the strength to do it (Philippians 4:13). When we do things with balance and in harmony with God’s Word and His will, we can call on the “through Christ” part to give us the proper strength to get the job done. So often I wonder why I do things my way rather than first seeking God’s ways or methods, which work so much better than mine. To top it all off, Exodus 14:14 says, “The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” . . . I wrote in the margin of my Bible by this verse, “The Lord will fight for me, and I shall act like a lady.” This, of course, isn’t an accurate word-for-word translation, but for me, the concept is there. James 4:7 says we must submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from us. We must do our part and fight with our mighty weapons, the good fight of our faith. Throughout any battle we face, we have the opportunity to worship God. When we praise Him, according to Psalm 22:3, He lives and dwells in our praise. And when God arrives, He comes prepared to do battle on our behalf. Prayer, praise, offerings, worship, faith, our words, and decrees according to His Word are all mighty weapons to pull down strongholds. So don’t fight dirty— fight smart! Fight in prayer. Prayer Lord, You see the battles I am facing. Thank You for reminding me that You are fighting for me, and I praise You for all that You are all that You do. Amen.
