Our present lives for the Lord are not something about which we can ever say, “I’ve won the war! Now I can settle down and enjoy life,” because there are some battles we will have to keep fighting our whole lives, until our dying day.It’s a battle every day—especially with our sins that so easily ensnare us (Hebrews 12:1). Some people seem to think they can get the victory over a particular weakness once and for all, and that they’ll never have another battle with that. In reality, we can expect the Devil to hit us the most on our weak spot, our Achilles heel, our greatest temptation. But Jesus always has the victory for us if we’ll keep going to Him for help. He says, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).It’s good to look back and see our own progress—to look back down that rugged mountain road we’ve just come over and to see we’re really getting somewhere—but it’s even more exciting to look forward and up to heights we’re soon to attain and views we’re soon to thrill to if we keep fighting, climbing, winning, and don’t quit! Hebrews 12:1 - Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us 2 Corinthians 12:9 - Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
