I was reading Regi Campell&#8217;s book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Radical-Wisdom-Daily-Journey-Leaders\/dp\/0999281372\">Radical Wisdom<\/a>, and he talked about picking a fight. In it, he said, &#8220;It is one thing to defend ourselves when we are attacked. Most people will do that out of necessity. It is another to go pick a fight on behalf of someone or something.&#8221; He says, &#8220;It is a clue as to why Christians are so passive- they haven&#8217;t picked a fight. They&#8217;re just sitting in Church learning more stuff. They&#8217;re useless\u2026 as Jesus said, &#8216;like salt that&#8217;s lost its savor.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Isaiah 42:13, \u201cThe Lord goes out like a mighty man, like a man of war he stirs up his zeal; he cries out, he shouts aloud, he shows himself mighty against his foes.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Behind my desk, and always within my sight, is a wooden statue of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Don_Quixote\">Don Quixote<\/a>. It has been with me since I first read Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra&#8217;s novel in High School. When the Broadway musical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=p0Cz1wh8pfo\">Man of La Mancha<\/a> came out, I loved it. This line in the song &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusicals.com\/lyrics\/manoflamancha\/impossibledream.htm\">The Impossible Dream<\/a>&#8221; defines me, &#8220;And the world will be better for this, that one man, scorned and covered with scars, still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable star.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Two critical images came to mind when reading this passage by Regi; the first is that Regi still speaks to me beyond the grave, and second, this is the hole in my heart that God has been trying to fill since my creation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Deciding to Fight<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>1 Timothy 6:12, \u201cFight the good fight of the faith.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As humans, it is easy to become defensive. Some of us are extroverts and can&#8217;t hold back, while others are introverts, allowing it to fester within. Neither of those choices is particularly the correct answer. We become defensive when we perceive our territory is under attack. Fight or flight kicks in when another is maligning something personal to us, and we mobilize.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Regi and Don Quixote make the point that there are issues out there that require our defense. God did not create us to let the fight come to us. He created us to take the fight to the enemy. It is about taking territory for Christ. Very seldom is that standing nose-to-nose and fighting until the last one standing. Mostly, it is about being obedient to God&#8217;s call.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Isaiah 54:17, \u201cNo weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>National Guard<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I think of it as God&#8217;s National Guard. It is a voluntary organization comprised of like-minded people who freely give their time to prepare for war or disaster. When the time comes for action, they follow orders and enter the fray. They use all their previous training to overcome a wrong or defend others. In this case, we are to defend the underserved from the evil that has existed in the world since the fall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;If we don&#8217;t stand for something, we&#8217;ll fall for anything.&#8221; \u2013 various sources.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Psalm 18:39, \u201cFor you equipped me with strength for the battle; you made those who rise against me sink under me.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Each of us should define our field of battle. It can be homelessness, fatherlessness, loneliness, human trafficking, hunger, medical assistance, education, employment, or anything else. The person God created you to be has the skills and resources to enter the fight against something. We will never know what we are made of or made for until we pick a fight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A fight musters resources, pumps adrenaline, creates urgency, and clarifies calling. Big fights force you to create alliances. It requires us to attack and defend, always keeping an eye on our adversary. Guess what? God is a master at this. He will ensure you have the resources you need to advance His kingdom. You&#8217;ll never fight alone as long as you do God&#8217;s will.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Luke 10:19, \u201cBehold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The fight is not ours to win; it is ours to participate in. God, and only God, has the resources to overcome.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Echoes of War<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Earlier, I mentioned that I realized that Regi was still talking to me from the grave. His voice echoes long after his passing. The fight he chose goes on even when he is not here. We each have that potential. Most of us either don&#8217;t believe it or choose to ignore it. Pick a fight. Make your moment count. Somewhere, sometime, someone will hear the echo of your existence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Deuteronomy 20:4, \u201cFor the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pick a fight, really?
