In The Battle

Of course I was thoroughly impressed by the movie when I went to see it... but there is a message that spoke to me loud and clear when I watched this clip.

Bruce asks Alfred... "People are dying... what would you have me do?" Alfred says, "Endure." Isn't our Christian walk like that? We are running this continual race. We are always in the battle.

Alfred goes on to say... "You can make the choice that no one else can face." That struck me right to my core. No one else can live your life. No once else can make those decisions for you. So many times we come to a choice in our lives and sometimes we fail in our walk, but only we can make the choice to follow Jesus. Your mom can't do it... your dad can't do it... your sister and brother can't do it... your neighbor can't do it... It's up to you to decide.

I leave you all with this. I like to think that God wants us to endure.


I Corinthians 9:24

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.

Hebrews 12:1

Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us

Philippians 3:14

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
