Sometimes the fight is not as exciting and attractive as in the movies,
sometimes there is no great prize, there is no great crowd.
More often then not, the fight is lonely, it's not seen by others and the battle is for the everyday things that come easily to someone else.
Battles come in all shapes and sizes but the fight is always the same, one person's victory is another person's adversity. We are all in a battle with the everyday as our enemy and where hope threatens to leave, we fight, we stand, we give our all because without hope there is no strength left in our fight. Hope can not be taken away from those whose hearts are of God--Hope is a blessing that our Savior gives every morning.
Our fight is against the distractions, against that which blinds, its a battle of our focus. The enemy has won when we don't know what we are fighting after, when we throw ourselves without purpose and when we exhaust ourselves and can no longer stand for what we believe in the everyday. Christ is in the every day. He is n the car ride to work, He is in the 8hrs of routine, He is in our thoughts, our dreams--He is a God who inhabits the hearts of his people. Our fight is never alone for He never leaves us--the enemy may distract but our Savior always saves.
Awake to the mornings blessings, fight through the distractions, set your intentions to have a battle of purpose--know the prize.
Your day is not without purpose, never without God, and never without hope.
Never give up the fight.
