—1 Timothy 6:11-21
by: Steve Osborn.
Living the Christian life is a battle. You struggle to make the right choices, do the right things, and resist temptation. You feel distant from God and cannot figure out how to push into His presence. Your prayers feel like they bounce off the ceiling and come right back. At times like these, we need to battle through adversity to grab hold of the things that are important to us. Paul urged Timothy to “fight the good fight of the faith” (v.12). What we cannot do is give up and give in. God has called us to important work and has promised to empower us to do it.
