“I’m A Solider in the Army of The Lord” many of us have
heard this song and have sung this song, but have you ever taken the time out
to look at the implications. If we are soldiers in the Lord’s Army we have to
realize we are constantly in a battle, we constantly have to fight. Being enlisted in the army is not for the
faint of heart or for the weak, but for the strong who are willing to endure
hardships for the sake of the Lord. Although, we may constantly go through
battles we have the ultimate victory because God is on our side.
Throughout our life we will all endure difficult situations
it is during these times that we must fight the good fight of faith. Timothy,
states that as a soldier of Christ we will endure tough times “Thou therefore
endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” Going through struggles is
one of the requirements that we signed up for when we chose to be a Christian.
God will give us the strength we need to endure every challenge that comes our
way. With Jesus we have the ultimate victory.
When facing struggles the most important thing that I do is
seek God in prayer. It is during these times when I cry out to God that I feel
the strength to continue on. I trust that God will take care of every
situation. Many times when going through struggles I hear God speaking to me
through numerous outlets, it may be a message from a preacher, encouragement from
a friend, or a song that I am listening to. These messages of encouragement let
me know that God is working on my behalf even when I cannot physically see the
progression.
When you are going through a battle I pray that you take the
situation to God. God wants to help you overcome every battle he will never
leave you or forsake you. Give all of your cares to Christ and he will see you
through. I pray for everyone going through a struggle that you will feel at
peace about the situation that God will provide you with the strength you need
to continue the fight that you will learn, and grow into a deeper relationship
with God due to the battle which you are facing. Remember that "all things work
together for the good to them that love God…”
Stay Blessed and Continue Warring for Christ!
