Ambition

In times of doubt, the shield of faith protects us with the promises of God. In times of temptation, the same shield protects us with the power of God.

As believers, our purpose is to do great things for God. Our ambition should be to follow hard after Him.

What banner do you hold high as you go into battle each day? If you hold the banner of self-sufficiency, independence or personal ambition, you will lose the battle every time. But if you hold high the name of the Lord, marching under his standard, he will give you the strength to defeat each foe.
