“Is that the hill you want die on?”
How many times have you heard that line when dealing with a dilemma deemed doomed in your work place, school, or even your church. You believe in your heart that you are on the right side of the issue. You have researched, sought advice, and maybe even prayed about this situation, but the temporal powers that be don’t align with your view. To take a stand could mean social isolation by colleagues, ridicule by superiors, loss of status or even possibly loss of your position/job! I know I’ve been there before and I imagine most of us have. How many times have we taken that stand and faced the odds versus how many times have we sacrificed our beliefs in retreat?
If we don’t stand, fight, and possibly die on that hill for a cause we believe in….what are the alternatives? To compromise our beliefs and remain on the hill at the price of our soul or to flee into the valley only to be enslaved by our regret.
So, the next time you hear: “Is this a hill you want to die on?” Remember this……………
Christ died on a hill for His beliefs…that you and I were worth saving!
What is worth saving to you?
Thanks again, RT
