Surely none of us will deny the fact that we as Christians are at war with the world, with our very flesh and certainly with the devil himself!

“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11

Yet some sit idly by … while the war rages!

God’s attitude toward such “shirkers?”

“Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.” Lazy, inactive, non-committed citizens! (Judges 5:23)

The question of the day may be the one asked here … “And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?”

Surely you got the question, just posed by Numbers 32:6 … “Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?”

Frankly, some of us need to re-enlist!

The old Hymn titled “Am I a Soldier of the Cross?” says it well …

“Must I be carried to the skies
  On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize
  And sailed through bloody seas?”

Surely, our hearts say NO!

Do we not want to end our early life, as did the Apostle Paul? Truthfully saying “I have fought a good fight!”

Enough has been said.

The Holy Spirit is our Guide!

Jesus is our Commander!

God the Father is our Strategist!

Sounds like, undoubtedly …We are on the winning side!

Then, why not fight!
