Reclining on the Soccer Field
Thursday, December 10, 2020
I remember one high school gym class, they had us play soccer. They assigned me and some others to play on defense along with the goal keeper. But the other players on our team were so good that all the action took place down at the other end of the field. No action took place on our end. So after a while, we decided to take it easy and spent the rest of the game reclining on the grass as if on beach chairs on a tropical vacation. But there's an important principle there. The reason why we could be so relaxed on defense was because those who were on the offense were good and aggressive. So it is said, "The best defense is a good offense." It's true in the Lord as well. Don't live in the Lord just trying to maintain your ground as the world, the flesh and the devil attack. Because then you'll always be living on the defensive and up against a wall. Rather live on the spiritual offensive. Always press forward and take new ground. You stay on the offensive, and let the enemy be on defense.
From Message #824 - Higher Ground
Is there an area in your life where you're living on the defensive - Turn it around - live on the offensive for God and against the enemy.
Scripture: Philippians 3:13-15
