Your Question:
What happens when I'm not strong enough to fight anymore?
Answer:
As someone who leads a church and has experienced my own share of struggles, I can attest that when you're not strong enough to fight anymore, it's essential to remember that God gives you other people to help you carry the load. The church functions like a tag-team wrestling match, where you can call for help and let others carry your perseverance. It's okay to feel exhausted and need assistance from others. In my experience, I've learned that our strength comes from God, not from ourselves. When we're physically exhausted, we can't keep fighting, but spiritually, we can draw on God's power to give us the strength we need. It's not about being strong enough to fight on our own, but about recognizing our limitations and calling on God's help. As the Bible says, "God never gives us strength for tomorrow, or for the next hour, but only for the strain of the moment" (paraphrased from the provided text). When we're not strong enough to fight, it's not a reflection of our faith, but rather a reminder that our faith is based on the Word of God, not on our own victories or successes. We must do what God wants us to do, even if we're not successful. And when we're defeated, we can gratefully appropriate the victory that is ours through Jesus Christ. By doing so, we can come away stronger, knowing God's standard for what we've done, and being able to see our failure and repent.
