ENDURING HARDSHIP
2 Timothy 2:3-4
You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.
Personal Challenge
If we are truly following Christ as one of His disciples, then we are at war. We are at war with the world, which is against Christ and who He is. We are at war within ourselves, struggling with our sinful nature to be like Christ. We are at war with the lies and half-truths around us that make Jesus into something that He is not. This makes us soldiers of Christ, not only under His protection, but subservient to Him. We are to live our lives in such a way that the affairs of this world do not entangle us. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
