My sisters soccer team lost last night in the state semifinals. Although she let an unfortunate goal in she said something after the game that I think means a lot in soccer and in life in Christ. You have to score, you can't just play defense the whole time and remain neutral. You don't win a game by playing defense the whole time. You aren't truly living in the glory of God if you are always playing defense and just trying to fight Satan or not really enjoying God. You have to actually OVERCOME satan. There is an obstacle there and you have to fight it. Playing defense the whole time wears you out and eventually you can't fight anymore. If you aren't actually trying to win for God and do something great for Him then it becomes exhausting and pretty pointless. Eventually you can't fight anymore and you give into sin.
Living for God means winning and overcoming sin! When you except Jesus into your life you say God you have control and I don't have to worry anymore. Why? Because God has already won the battle for you. He won! Don't become exhausted by trying to live in this world and with God. Choose Him! I think it's very important to realize that yes satan is constantly attacking us but God is still holding us up. We aren't holding Him up or letting Him down, He is the ONE AND ONLY in this life that can hold us up!
Win the battle and overcome!
