Pick Your Battles

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, ‘King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and He will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand.’
— DANIEL 3:16, 17 (NIV)

How’s does it feel to know you don’t have to fight every battle? What? All this time and you didn’t know? You mean to tell me, that you didn’t know, you don’t have to retaliate every time someone rubs you the wrong way? You didn’t know that you don’t have to participate in every argument or respond to every rumor, shade thrown your way, or ill thing said or done to you? Well… you don’t.

Every fight isn’t your fight. You don’t have to defend yourself against every matter. Trust that the GOD you serve will deliver you from your enemy. When they go low, you go high, but you can only go high if that’s where your prayer life and mindset are. Instead of wasting energy addressing things you cannot control (i.e. what people say, what people do, what people think, etc.), invest your time in getting closer to Christ, improving yourself, and the lives of those around you. Your time is precious. Don’t waste it fighting winless battles. Besides, GOD can fight better than you.

Heavenly Father, I do not need to fight or defend myself in every matter. I serve You, Lord, and You will deliver me from the hand of my enemy. I choose to focus on You and not every battle. Jesus’ Name. Amen.
