Jude 1:3 (NKJV) 3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.
To contend for the faith we must put ourselves in the battle, we may choose the side lines, but Gods servant always stands where he is instructed. A soldier was told to hold a line against impossible odds, he prayed, "God help me do what I cannot do on my own," bullets barely missed as he fought with renewed energy, finally the battle stopped. The line was intact and no one was killed or wounded, as the soldier stood to examine his surroundings he noticed the enemy lying on the ground and waving in surrender. Summoning the enemy leader he asked, "why did you give up with the numbers of men surrounding you?" The enemy replied, "we could see we were completely out numbered your army covered the hills." The brave soldier had a shattered unit of six men who stood faithfully, against seven hundred.
Our commitment to God must be on these same lines, we must be more committed to Gods purposes that our own, stay in the battle He is not finished with you yet.
Heavenly Father help us to stand in this day, give us victory where everyone sees defeat. Let our hearts turn to You and leave every fear outside. Amen
