Most things worth having in life do not come easy. We can look at so many people and think that we want what they have- their popularity, their fame, and their wealth. However, we do not realize that a lot of those things come at a cost. 

Sometimes their families suffer. Some of the most influential people in the world are those who have gone through the most difficult challenges that brought them to where they are today. 

However, fighting for what matters is always worth it. This creates a lasting impact and legacy. Having faith is often difficult, countercultural. However, we know that this is a good fight because it is what matters for eternity. We can cling to eternal life each and every day as a promise from God when we accept Him as our savior.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Teach me to value what truly matters—faith, love, integrity, and the pursuit of Your will. Help me to fight for these things, knowing that they create a lasting impact and legacy that glorifies You. I recognize that having faith in a world that often rejects it can be difficult and countercultural, but I know it is the good fight, the one that matters for eternity. Help me to fight on. In the Name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Choose to encourage your spirit today. Fighting is oftentimes not easy, but it produces character and depth. What sins do you need to combat today by clinging to God’s Word? Who can you call on to hold you accountable to fight the good fight even when it costs you something? Pray that prayer. Call that person. Fight the good fight today!
