We are in this together

So, we have those days when things just don't go well at all. I know, some have a lot of those days, and others not quite so many. But, we all have them.The struggle begins when we get up in the morning and it is a fight until we lay down at night. It can be very tiring, especially when it feels that there is no one fighting with you.

I am blessed to have Trish, a warrior. She is certainly on my side, by my side. She is relentless in her prayers, support, and encouragement. There is nothing like having such an advocate. Yet, as strong an advocate and supporter as Trish is, my Strongest Advocate is JESUS CHRIST. However, I am grateful that He has blessed me with earthly support.

Today's word is Philippians 1:30, NLT, which reads, "We are in this struggle together. You have seen my struggle in the past, and you know that I am still in the midst of it."

Paul was telling the Philippians that they had seen his struggle; he had been battling every day to spread the Gospel. The Philippians supported Paul with their offerings, with their thoughts, with their prayers. Paul wanted to remind them that they are in the struggle together; they were all fighting for the same cause - to spread the Gospel of JESUS - Together.

Whatever struggle you may be in, whatever struggle you may be facing, whatever you are fighting, I pray that you realize that you have the greatest Advocate. I also pray that you have earthly advocates that pray for you, pray with you, support you, and encourage you. I pray that you know that we are in this together.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
