The Battle

   Have you ever seen a professional bodybuilder or a professional athlete train for an event or there sport? More specifically, have you ever seen them sit down to attempt the bench press? They sit on the bench press and lift the weight. However have you even seen one train without any weight? They just sat on the bench and expected to get stronger?
   Absolutely not! The key is the resistance. Without it, the muscles get no stronger at all. The force of the weight along with gravity is what makes the muscles have to work, therefore bringing it gain in the long run.
   Spiritually, we are in daily warfare. I have never seen a war without an enemy of some type! So it fascinates me when some say that they are Christians and have never faced opposition. Those that are truly in Christ and a threat to an enemy will face opposition, for we are in battle.
   I challenge you to seek discipleship and wisdom and most importantly the Lord through all of the opposition, knowing that the battle has already been won through the Lord Jesus Christ!
