Fighters

This morning while I was doing my devotions I came across a very interesting verse.

Luke 16:9

"I want you to be smart in the same way - but for what is right - using every adversity to stimulate creative survival, to concentrate your attention on the bare essentials, so you'll live really live, and not complacently just get on by good behavior."

I love how The Message phrases this verse. The way I interpret is that Jesus wants us to put what we know into action. But not just good behavior but to take it to heart, to really live for Christ. If we focus on Him, He will teach us very important things. Then when we go through adversity He will help us use it and practice it. But it takes effort and we need to fight for it. Fight through our adversities with the help of the HS. I think that is just amazing. And it inspires me to fight, and work hard at being the best person I can be through my adversities. Not just mull over how bad my life is going, but to take it and learn something from it. Being active. :D
