Biblical Answer

The Worth of Fighting

The worth of fighting is a question that plagues many of us. Is it even worth it? The answer lies in our understanding of the nature of the battle we face. When we fight, we are not fighting against people or circumstances, but against the forces of darkness that seek to destroy us. In 1 Peter 5:8, we are warned that our adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. This is the enemy we face, not the people we interact with.

The question of worth is often tied to our own strength and ability to fight. We may feel like we've tried everything and still can't seem to make progress. We may feel like we're just going through the motions, and it's not worth it. But the truth is, the battle is not ours to win or lose. It is God's. In 2 Chronicles 20:15, we read that God says, "Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's." This is a powerful reminder that we do not fight alone, and that God is always with us.

So, is it worth fighting? The answer is a resounding yes. The fight is not about our own strength or ability, but about our willingness to trust in God and His sovereignty. When we fight, we are not fighting for ourselves, but for the glory of Christ. And when we stand firm in our faith, we can be confident that God will give us the strength and courage we need to overcome any obstacle. In Psalm 28:7, we read, "The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O God, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands." This is a promise that God will see us through, and that His purpose will be fulfilled in our lives. So, let us not give up the fight. Let us stand firm in our faith, and trust in God's sovereignty to see us through.
