Stay Calm During The Fight

January 30

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”.

Philippians 4:6-7

The Lord came to Gideon and told him he was to face the Midianites in the Eternity Fighting Championship. That’s like God picking the smallest boy out of the crowd and telling him that he has to fight the “Ultimate Fighting Champion”.

Look at it from this view… it is like telling a teen ager that they must walk away from peer pressure, telling a pastor that he must stand in front of his church and tell them that he approves of the youth going into the inner city and sharing the gospel in a strip club.  “I am not that tough, please get some one else” we stammer.  Then God reminds us that we are not alone.  He just wants to use our arms to throw the punches and our legs to kick fear out of the cage.  With this said, he helps us put on the gloves and walks us down the hall toward the cage of life.  He brings a spirit of peace.  A peace before the storm.  A peace beyond words.  He gave it to David after he stepped inside the cage with Goliath; he gave it to Saul after he was knocked down for sharing the gospel; he gave it to Jesus in the garden before is showdown with the cross.  He will give it to you.  Are you going to let him?

Remember, it is called a fight for a reason.  However, we fight from victory, not for victory.  Keep Fighting!
