When we hear battle we think war. What we fail to realize is that life is like war. We have our battles. We have our marching orders and we have our General...
But before we can even get into the war, we have to go through basic training or boot-camp... Now in the army of life, basic-training can take anywhere from 3 months to 10 years. We have to trust that our commanding officer knows when we are ready. He may put us out there, let us fail, but with failure comes the lesson and could very well be the thing that keeps us alive later. With failure comes the struggle, and with the struggle comes the refining.
The struggle sucks though. I'm not going to lie to you.. It sucks... It does not feel good. It does feel like you failed... But the thing you learn from the struggle is that there is always a reason for it.
A butterfly struggles to get it's wings. If it doesn't struggle to get out of the cocoon then it will never fly.... Our struggle is what helps us get our wings. It's what helps us soar...
Are you taking your struggles and giving up or are you using them to become battle ready?
1Corinthians 14:8
For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
