What does it mean to strive against the flow of the world?

Answered in 1 source

Striving against the flow of the world means actively resisting societal norms and distractions to pursue a relationship with God and His righteousness.

To strive against the flow of the world is to recognize and push back against the cultural and societal pressures that distract us from our faith. Jesus calls believers to 'seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness' (Matthew 6:33). This pursuit requires intentionality and often sacrifices our comfort and conformity to worldly values. As we witness the pervasive secular influences around us, being committed to Christ entails actively resisting these patterns in favor of a life that honors God and serves His purposes. Striving involves careful choices and determined commitment to align one’s life with God's will.
