time to fight

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

- 2 Timothy 4:7 (NKJV)

 

There are some things in life that are definitely worth fighting for.

We have all been through struggles, battles, trying times, some of us have had to fight for our lives. 

Our battles may be medical, physical, or emotional, but they are our battles, they are very real and very big. 

Some of us are still fighting.

Do not give up.

There is a great secular song by the artist Rachel Platten from 2015 called Fight Song:

Like a small boat on the ocean

Sending big waves into motion

Like how a single word

Can make a heart open

I might only have one match

But I can make an explosion

And all those things I didn't say

Were wrecking balls inside my brain

I will scream them loud tonight

Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song

Take back my life song

Prove I'm alright song

My power's turned on

Starting right now, I'll be strong

I'll play my fight song

And I don't really care if nobody else believes

'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep

Everybody's worried 'bout me

In too deep, say I'm in too deep

And it's been two years, I miss my home

But there's a fire burning in my bones

Still believe, yeah, I still believe

And all those things I didn't say

Wrecking balls inside my brain

I will scream 'em loud tonight

Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song

Take back my life song

Prove I'm alright song

My power's turned on

Starting right now, I'll be strong

I'll play my fight song

And I don't really care if nobody else believes

'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Do you realize how easy it is to turn this into a song about faith?

What if the fight that is in us is God, telling us to stay strong?

That it is Him helping you take back your life.

God is with you - even when you feel the most alone, keep your faith, keep Him as your strength - when you feel like the world is closing in, reach out and feel His arms around you. 

Find your peace, make God your hero, make the Bible your fight song. 

and never stop keeping the faith.
