Brothers and sisters in Christ, we have an enemy within and without that must be fought daily. For when we would do good, evil is present. The works of the devil are consistent and his strategies though similar are modified given our resolve. He is not static in his approach to make sure we have the best chance of entering hell. The Bible tells us to fight the good fight of faith, Our faith must be protected and we must defend it. It also tells us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. In light of the way being narrow, we must be vigilant. Wise as serpents and gentle as doves. Time does not make the fight easier. In fact, we are more tempted to grow weary in well doing, when the clock keeps ticking.
Since we know that time does not make the fight easier, we must dig deeper and deeper in God. We must pursue him more and more and get closer and closer. It will be the only way to survive. We must cry out to the Lord for His rescuing hand and for His protection. We must put on the full armor of the Lord and resist the enemy. We must do everything we can to stand.
Let us direct our thoughts unto the Lord and repent of sin and draw near. Ask the Lord to renew and refresh you. Some may make it look easy this spiritual fight, but make no mistake, none of us will enter in without it being scare. For the Bible declares that the righteous scarcely make it.
Keep fighting to remain holy and when you sin, repent, move forward and press. We only have one shot at being right and you do not want to be wrong.
