Fight Every Battle as Led by the Holy Spirit

You have heard it said that we need to choose our battles. This sounds good on the surface but on deeper reflection it leaves us losing the war.

We must fight every battle and as we do so we find ourselves having fewer of them. When we ignore a problem it grows and morphs into a ituation so large it cannot be fixed.

Our battles are spiritual and some are physical. When we ignore even one we allow rebellion. Rebellion ignored grows out of control and we find ourselves in more battles than if we had dealt with them quickly.

James 1:12 – "Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him."

1 Timothy 6:12 – "Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses."

James 1:2-4 – "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."

1 Peter 1:6-7 – "In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ."

When we trust in Christ we do not grow weary of the battles and we fight them in the power of the Holy Spirit.
