Midgett Adventures~ #10 Fight the Good Fight

January 29, 2010

I have mids tonight, so now I am off until 10pm except for some flight ops this evening. I am so glad to have some time now to pray and read my Bible. Today I have been feeling worn out spiritually…being a light in a dark place is not easy. Isaiah 41:10-14 are a tremendous encouragement to me as I press on heavenward.

So do not fear for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand….I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear, I will help you…

As I read these verses my heart rejoices in the Lord that I am not facing this life alone; He is always at my side. He is my helper and my strength, and I will put my trust in Him. Daily I face the battle of renewing my mind in the Word of God so that I am transformed into the likeness of Jesus Christ…lest I conform to those around me who only know Him as a swear word. They cannot understand why He is so precious to me, and try to get me to “broaden my horizons” and stop isolating myself from the world. But they do not know that friendship with world is hatred toward God nor would they care. They cannot understand why I treasure Christ so much and they cannot see the worth He could ever hold, but I love Him…because He first loved me. He is my joy and His love is better than life.

So now I am going to the Word to be strengthened and renewed that I may be ready and able to fight the good fight of faith and not give in to the Evil One.

Destroying Our Idols

God's Will or Your Own?

THE MISSION

THE MISSION

Written for my family as they move to Cameroon, Africa to share Jesus love with the people there.

Rejoicing in all God has done.
In your lives, I see Him displayed
As your greatest treasure of all;
Your mission: to proclaim His name.

Fix Your eyes on Christ…Run hard to the goal.
Consider the work He has done, He has saved your souls!



Press on, HOPE IN GOD…IN HIS HANDS you are safe. UNDER HIS WINGS…you are held---
you are HELD BY GRACE.
Take up your cross, follow Christ, let His praises resound.
Be BROKEN AND SPILLED OUT
as you journey HOMEWARD BOUND.


Cheering you on as you go
As you make much of Jesus today,
Considering all else as loss
Compared to the Savior’s name.

Fight the battle of faith…stand firm in Christ.
Trust Him with all of your heart, give Him your life.



Press on, HOPE IN GOD…IN HIS HANDS you are safe. UNDER HIS WINGS…you are held---
you are HELD BY GRACE.
Take up your cross, follow Christ, let His praises resound.
Be BROKEN AND SPILLED OUT
as you journey HOMEWARD BOUND.


Praying for you in my heart.
May God’s sustaining grace push you on
To follow Christ outside of the camp,
Calling the nations to join the song!

Jesus is mighty to save
For while yet sinners He died in our place.
Shout---shout His praise For He has given us grace!


Press on, HOPE IN GOD…IN HIS HANDS you are safe. UNDER HIS WINGS…you are held---
you are HELD IN HIS GRIP OF GRACE.
Take up your cross, follow Christ, let His praises resound.
Be BROKEN AND SPILLED OUT
as you journey HOMEWARD BOUND.


Take the Adventure
