What did you fight today?

Then Achish would say, “Where have you made a raid today?” And David would say, “Against the southern area of Judah, or against the southern area of the Jerahmeelites, or against the southern area of the Kenites.” 1 Samuel 27.10

There was a time in David’s life when every day was a day of war. It became such a routine that when he came home each evening, people would ask him, “So, whom did you fight today?”

That’s a good story and a useful question to keep us motivated. We all need to fight our daily battles and answer at the end of each day: “Whom/what did I fight today?”

If we didn’t fight, we couldn’t possibly have won anything. A day of victory can only follow a day of fighting.

So, what did you fight today?
