Battles

Battles. We all face them. Whether they are battles within ourselves, with family or coworkers, or even with culture. Some we win and some we lose. We need to be careful what battles we fight as Christians because some aren’t worth losing a chance to witness of our Lord over.

The Bible describes many battles between groups of people and between individuals. There are all the battles listed in the Bible when Israel was taking the promised land. There were battles when Israel was being taken into captivity because of their idolatry. We see battles between David and King Saul. Battles are a part of history and they will still be a part of the future.

The Book of Revelation tells of a final battle between Satan and Christ called the Battle of Armageddon. Satan will attempt one last overthrow of Christ but will lose and be thrown into the lake of fire to suffer for eternity.

Maybe you are facing some of your own battles and you don’t know where to turn for help. You can pray like David did, “Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me!” - Psalm 35:1. The battle belongs to the Lord, let Him fight for you, for His strength is greater than our own.

Have a great day and God bless.
