Life (1 Timothy 6:11-16)


Good morning ladies,

The word of the day is “life.” This is what being a God follower is all about. So many times throughout the Bible we hear about what it means to live through a relationship with God. In his first letter to Timothy, Paul reminds him of the importance of fighting for the life to come. The apostle Paul knew what it meant to live a crazy life of serving God. I love this passage and what he says to young Timothy because Paul knows it is imperative to fight to the very end.

“Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”
~1 Timothy 6:12


My question is: what does it mean for you as a Christian to fight the good fight of faith? God has put you in the unique position to influence others and to live a life for Christ. We are in the presence of many witnesses and it is imperative for us to live a life worthy of the calling God has given. You are coming to the end of your season and each of you knows what it means to fight. With every practice, every stroke, every breath – you are fighting to do your best. My prayer for you is that you continue to live your life in the same manner. We don't know how many more days we have left on this earth. But we do know that we can live each of those days for Christ. As we finished the season strong, remember to take hold of your calling from God.

Praying for you,

mo
