I’ve heard the saying that “God gives his toughest battles to his toughest soldiers.” But when I see the disciples that Jesus chose and suffered for His name sake, I don’t see Him choosing the “toughest soldiers”, as I learn about men and women in the past and even today who have laid down their lives for Jesus, once again I don’t see God choosing His “toughest soldiers.” But I see a strong and mighty God choosing weak men and woman, and empowering them by His Holy Spirit to face some of the toughest battles and be used for His glory.
I once thought I was a “tough soldier” until I met Jesus, I then realized that I’m so weak without Him, and apart from Jesus I can’t do anything. I need Jesus daily. The only way that I can truly become who God wants me to be and truly do what God wants me to do, is not by my power not by my might, but only by The Spirit of The Living God. Thank you Jesus.
@5solas The mind is the Battlefield. Depression and discouragement and whispers from the enemy that plant seeds of doubt which lead to sin. So this is not wholly wrong…
@SayreBedinger What about trading for Sam Laporta (assuming he is healthy)? If you can’t get the free agent you target it doesn’t mean you have to stop. Trade talks can be a pivot.
This is one of the most incredible animations I’ve seen on X that tells the story of the Islamic ambition and mission to build their global caliphate. It is so so brilliantly done.
Whoever made this is a genius
