Satan is an inferior enemy of the church and won’t attempt to attack head on. He’s a master of bait and switch or slight of hand. We must have discernment to tell not white from black but white from off white.

Paul uses a couple examples such as a faithful soldier and a hard working farmer to encourage Timothy in his service to the Lord Jesus. Because these are figures who understand that there’s a cost; we too must take this into account. Embrace the suck, stay the fight.

Paul starts out his second epistle to Timothy with some encouragement to stand firm in the faith and not to be ashamed of the gospel. May Jesus strengthen us as well in this very same endeavor.

More wisdom from God’s Holy word dealing with fools and slackers.
