We Are Battling for the High Ground
May 18, 2008
Some day’s life can be an uphill battle. When fighting an uphill battle we don’t advance in yards but inches, often paying a high price fro each inch of ground we take. During World War II the Americans at Iwo Jima were sickened by the high price they were paying for a seemingly worthless piece of real estate. Iwo Jima’s high value was of a strategic nature and the enemy knew it.
Christians often experience an uphill battle for goals or areas of our lives that seem unimportant but these are often the areas with immense strategic value. If we disregard the high ground then we lose the war. Those who posses the high ground control their lives and are not easily dislodged. Romans 8:37-39 states, “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” The next time you want to quit the battle for the high ground stop what you are doing and assess its strategic value. You will find the strength you need to stay in the battle.
