Your Question:
What's the point of fighting when everything seems against me?
Answer:
As I reflect on the question, I'm reminded of the struggles that many people face in life. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and defeated when everything seems against us. But as a pastor, I've seen time and time again that the key to perseverance is not to give up, but to look to God for strength and guidance. The Bible teaches us that our desires can often lead to fights and quarrels, not just with others, but also within ourselves. When we're not satisfied with what we have, we can become consumed by our own desires, leading to a cycle of dissatisfaction and frustration. But James reminds us that we don't get what we want because we're looking in the wrong place. Instead of placing demands on our spouse or others, we should look to God to meet our needs. So, what's the point of fighting when everything seems against us? The point is not to win a battle, but to stand for what is right and just. As a Christian, I believe that we're called to be radical, to stand against the forces of evil and to fight for what is good. And even when the battle seems too long, and surrender seems inevitable, we must keep fighting, not for our own sake, but for the sake of the Lord. We must keep our eyes on Jesus, and trust that He is our reward, and that our struggles are not in vain.
