Weary soldier??

As soldiers of Christ, we must constantly remember, we are up against a lot of things. We are waging a war against the assaults of the flesh on our souls. "Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh which wage war against your soul." 1 Peter 2:11

Then, there are the onslaughts of the Enemy, the temptations, the various trials. As pilgrims, we get weary and tired. At times, discouraged! We need to remember that this is a good fight. The good fight of faith!

Jesus is the Captain of our salvation(Heb.2:10b) and the founder and perfecter of our faith (Heb.12:2a). We must look to JESUS, who for the joy set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame. We must run the race that is set before us with endurance. We must lay ASIDE every WEIGHT and the SIN which clings so CLOSELY. (Heb.12:1-2)

Let us with the apostle together say, "But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead. I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13b-14
