The Big Fight

The last time I got excited about a "Big Fight" it was over Asterix and Obelix's story "The Big Fight!" Of course, the Pacquiao and Mayfeather Big Fight has nothing to do with Asterix and Obelix, but it did get me thinking about the topic of fighting. I have to admit that the thought of getting into the ring with either one of these 2 prize fighters sends shivers down my spine - they are both fantastic athletes and I am convinced they could do some major damage to my face :)

The Bible mentions the word 'fight' on a number of occasions and a fair number of them speak of the picture of God being on our side, fighting for us. It is quite a reassuring image of God being in our corner, rooting for us and willing to stand in the gap to defend us.

Sometimes LIFE and issues of this world can seem like we are squaring up to a prize fighter and that this "opponent" looks very ominous. We may even be quivering in our boots, but we need to remember that God is with us. In the end, He will come to our aid.

"The Lord God is your leader, and he will fight for you with his mighty miracles, just as you saw him do in Egypt." - Deuteronomy 1:30

Joshua 2:11 - No one has any fight left in him after hearing things like that, for your God is the supreme God of heaven, not just an ordinary god.

1 Timothy 6:12 - "Fight on for God. Hold tightly to the eternal life that God has given you and that you have confessed with such a ringing confession before many witnesses."

May you have Blessed Week and remember that GOD is in your corner!
