Fight Night

it was the meeting of an epic bout in the Motherland two heavyweights in the ring battling hand to hand it was on, it was a rumble it was fight night in the African jungle one fighter employed a new and unheard of strategy to make the other wear himself out completely it was the Rope-a-dope technique that he used to win for boxing is not just physical, it's also what's in the minds of men Jacob had an epic battle with the Lord our God it was a confrontation long coming in regards to how his life did start Jacob wanted to be in charge even though he wasn't the first-born son but that is not the way that God wants things to be done we all desire to be first to be the best of the best we all want what we want when we want and to be better than all the rest but it's not okay to achieve your goals at the expense of someone else's pain for what is it to have gained the whole world if your soul no longer remains? someone will always be better than you no matter the vocation but no one can be better at being you no matter the application you won't be first in everything that you attempt to do but no one can do you like you do you we all can't be singers, dancers nor movie stars but we all have a gift or talent given to us by the Lord God it's not so much about being first it's about being good and right and being honest in your approach and acceptable in God's sight it's fight night the epic battle over your eternal soul it's about your willingness to surrender and let God take control to do what God has destined for you to trust in the plans that He has for you after graduating I couldn't find a job in my chosen field so I sacrificed to God's plan and to Him I did yield I worked as an unpaid intern for an entire year then one day my mentor told me of a job that he did hear and only because of his recommendation, reputation and integrity without even an interview the position was given to me trust in God to meet you in the midst of your dark days as He only desires that to Him you pray, yield and obey a rumble in the jungle fight night with the Lord a struggle with the Spirit until all is in accord on the spiritual battlefield that's where you surrender and yield don't think of it as a defeat but a leg in life's journey you need to complete and don't regard it as taking a loss but a testament to the sacrificial blood on the cross a time for you to get right with the Lord our God a spiritual fight night with a divine change of heart
