Strike

Strike first.

Like Rocky, with Mickey in your corner, 4:02 am wake up call, running through dark, cold, empty streets, all this work so you can come out swinging. You don’t train to last 1 round. Every day activation is for the 15th round when they’ve got you on the ropes. They knock you down, you’ll get back up again. Eye of the Tiger. Get your mind right, enemy out here trying to kill you. You woke up this morning to train for the fight. Gloves up, head up, eyes up. Gotta get your mind right. This is a fight. Strike.

Don’t conform, be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Fear, Uncertainty, Discomfort, and Doubt try to back you into the corner,

That’s why you strike early, do the invisible work.

Always David, they can be Goliath

Keep their strategies, you’ll keep coming for the Giant.

Strike first.

Fight this battle your way, don’t do it in their armor, when the Lord is with you, they don’t expect it, but Goliath will fall

Strike the match, stop waiting, start the process.

One step at a time, one punch at a time, one round at a time

They say they’re coming, so take the battle to them.

Even when your hands are shaking with fear, strike.

Even when your mind is racing with uncertainty, strike.

Even when your heart is anxious with discomfort and doubt, strike.

Your feelings are real, but they only tell one part of the story. Acknowledge what ou feel, and then step into the conflict. This is where the battle is won. On the inside. Every day.

You’re here to impact. You don’t need to be perfect or impressive. “for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again…” Embrace the Christ in you to live authentically. One and God still make a majority.
