Pick a Fight

I spent 30 hours this weekend with an awesome group of students. We participated in World Vision's 30 Hour of Famine (http://www.30hourfamine.org/). The goal was to raise awareness (and funds) for poverty around the world. We have been doing this for five years. This year during one of our devotion times I told the students if they were going to pick any fights this year to make sure that it was one worth getting beat up over (Not sure what parents think of that however). But seriously, think about how upset we get over superficial things and how we ignore those things in society that we should get angry about. We each need to pick our own fights and stand for justice. As we choose which battle to enter we must consider our gifts and passions. It is when we fight for God from our gifts and passions that we are fighting from our strengths and are in the best position to be used by God in His army.
