Good Morning Men,While our greatest battle may exist internally with the natural man, this is only where the fight originates. Also, I believe we never truly defeat the natural man, as we must always wage war within ourselves to combat complacency.
Looking externally, men are hardwired for violence. Even as little boys, they see most objects as a potential weapon; sticks turn into swords, water balloons into grenades as they battle against one another to see who comes out the victor. Despite growing into young men and beyond, this predisposition never truly goes away.
Knowing this, men need to identify their “Battle to Fight”, one that transcends themselves and connects them to a greater purpose. Lacking intention, men are easily manipulated to engage in the wrong battles. For most modern men, the closest thing they have resembling a battle is cheering for their favorite sports team, supporting their political party of choice, or the road rage incident from the mornings commute to their mind numbing desk job.
As men, we need to set time aside to do the work to connect with our purpose for being here on this planet. You must look to the world and it’s issues which surround you and decide why God decided to put you right here, right now. Connecting with your purpose will align you to fight the correct battles and bring more meaning to your life.
Are you fighting the right battles?
