A Bigger Man

My dad taught me that it takes a bigger man to walk away from a fight than to engage in a fight. As a grade schooler I learned the difficulty in walking away. My Heavenly Father tells us to fight for faith. Faith is not about our desires and wants, which most earthy fights are all about; but about eternal issues. We are in spiritual warfare and we are to make a stand in order that the Kingdom and our God will be glorified. Strive to be a bigger man for others to see Christ in you.

1 Timothy 6:12-16 (NIV)

12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

13 In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you

14 to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 which God will bring about in his own time--God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords,

16 who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.
