Warrior Stay in YOUR Lane

What is your definition of a warrior? Is it the meanest, baddest or coolest dude or gal in the world?  

It’s been said and I agree that it’s the person who does the right thing because it’s the right thing.

We are all created in the image of God with inalienable rights given not by government but by Almighty God! If we go by Hollywood’s “standard” of what it means to be a warrior – Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, Jacky Chan, Bruce Willis or any other Hollywood legend we’ll miss the mark entirely. In the world we live in “right” is a relative term subjectively pertaining to the context in which it is used.

As a follower and believer in Jesus Christ I must weigh everything in light of what God says is right and what God says is not right. The basic commandments: Love God and have no other gods before him; do not steal; do not lie; do not covet; love your mother and father; do not kill; remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy; do not take the name of the Lord in vain; do not commit adultery; & do not gossip and to love God with all your heart, mind, soul and spirit and to love your neighbor as yourself which are the guidelines to live a good and holy life before God.

Each of us must seek to know God and HIS plan for our lives so that we know the race we have before us. When we place everyone (yes that means everyone) before ourselves we tend to focus on their needs and what we can do to meet those needs so long as it is within our means as God gives us His power to do so. The bible tells us that the enemy we fight is a spiritual force which we cannot hope to defeat in our own strength, but with the power of God in our life all things are possible. Once we understand our purpose, then we can focus on staying in the lane that God has given us so that we can run the race God has purposed us to run.

Not everyone is a Billy Graham, but nobody else in the world (past, present or future) can be YOU!

John 3:16

New International Version

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

We don’t have to agree with everything other people do or say, but we must not fail to love them as God loves them for that is our duty to be the good news – Jesus Loves You! – RTM
