Every day we face battles. At times the obstacles before us can seem overwhelming, leaving us tired, discouraged, or wondering if we have the strength to keep going. Yet God has not left us to fight alone. Through His Spirit, He has given us everything we need to stand firm—to strengthen us, encourage us, comfort us, and help us persevere as we continue running the race He has set before us.

“But those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.” — Isaiah 40:31

In this issue of The Wine Press, we focus on the battle of the spirit and the wonderful gifts God has provided to equip us for the journey. It is our prayer that these articles will encourage your heart, renew your strength, and draw you closer to the One who is always faithful.
