Winning Without A Fight

Tuesday, June 8, 2021

David was a warrior, a soldier and a fighter, but we don't often realize that just as important as fighting was for David's life, were the battles David chose not to fight. David was challenged by King Saul who was seeking to kill him. And yet, he refused to lift up the sword against him. Just as important as the battles he won were the battles he never fought. A victorious life isn't just about winning battles, it's also about not fighting the battles you weren't called to fight. When you fight the battles of fruitless arguments, fruitless goals that God hasn't told you to fight, even if you win, you lose. The enemy wants you distracted, so he takes you away from the fight you're called to fight by getting you involved in all these other fruitless fights. Be wise and mighty as David, learn not only how to fight but how not to fight. Don't let the enemy distract you. Put away the bad fight and take up the good fight of God's will - the fight you can never lose.
