“Fight the good fight of the faith, living in the good of the eternal life given you when you were called, when you made your public confession of faith in Christ Jesus. (1 Timothy 6 v 12 The Truth)

Fight the good fight of faith unswervingly.

This will not be easy.

Everybody faces challenges and changes,

Many of which seem overwhelming.

We have to face trials, setbacks, disappointments.

We all must endure difficulties and dilemmas,

Sometimes on a regular or even daily basis.

So where is God in all of this?

“ ‘It is My peace that I give to You, the kind of peace the world can never give you. Because you have My peace there is no need to allow your hearts to become fearful or troubled’.” (John 14 v 27 The Truth)

This truth is witnessed to by Jesus.

Who promises to be ever with us,

Never, ever to desert us.

It is when we are weak

We must remind ourselves we belong to Jesus unequivocally.

And calling on His Spirit to strengthen us,

We will become strong in our Saviour Brother’s friendship,

Calling on the power of His name,

To make us victorious over all our weakness.

“...pursue a righteous life, full of godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness.” (1 Timothy 6 v 11 The Truth

“I charge you before God who is the source of all life, and before Christ Jesus, who made His good confession while testifying to Pontius Pilate, keep this command with a pure heart.” (1 Timothy 6 v 13 The Truth)

“Follow the pattern of sound teaching which you received..., in the faith and love you have in Christ Jesus. Through the Holy Spirit who lives in us, guard the deposit of truth entrusted to you.” (2 Timothy 1 v 13 The Truth) For this is essential, so please pray!
