“How to be a Warrior in Your Marriage”
Devotional Content:
What does it really mean to have the heart of a warrior? That is a challenge for me. I like the idea of being a fighter and going to battle, but often the images in my mind are different than truly being a warrior for God. If I am fighting self-defined battles, my tendency is to be selfish. I fight for what I want instead of making sure I am fighting for what God wants. Being a warrior for God really involves fighting for something that is much greater than myself. Fighting for Him means I fight the battles that truly matter and in that fight, I follow Jesus’s example. That can also be tough because Jesus led like a servant and ultimately laid down His life for me. So if I am to fight like Jesus, I have to be willing to do the same as He did. The good news is that I don’t have to do it in my own power and my own strength. Jesus is right there fighting by my side and I have His power and His strength. Each day as I fight for something great for my marriage and my family, He is right there with me. With Jesus at my side, I will win the battle day after day after day! So will you!
Today’s Challenge:
- What does it mean to you to “fight for something greater than yourself?”
- Today, what is the battle you are fighting that matters the most? How can you bring God into the battle?
- What does it mean to you to be a servant leader?
Going Deeper:
Pastor Craig says that we do not have to fight “in our own strength.” How does that play out for you in the battles you face daily?
