READY:
"But if it doesn't please you to worship the Lord, choose for
yourselves today the one you will worship: the gods your fathers
worshiped beyond the Euphrates River, or the gods of the Amorites in
whose land you are living. As for me and my family, we will worship
the Lord."
-Joshua 24:15
SET:
I was at home this morning getting ready and minding my own business
when I heard a proclamation coming from outside my house. It was
loud. It was proud. It was my four-year-old son singing at the top of
his voice, "I'm in the Lord's Army. YES, SIR!" He was sitting against
the door with his light saber in hand singing his praise to the
General of the Heavenly Host.
When you play sports, you go into battle. Sides are drawn, boundaries
are set, and the battle begins. No matter what the sport, you will
choose whom to compete for and against. This is no different than in
your walk with Christ. Every day you battle against the evil of the
world. You are in the war for your soul. The minute you were born the
battle began! And today, God wants you to choose whose army you want
to fight for.
Evan, my son, made his choice. He was loud, and he was proud. He
didn't care if the neighbors heard him singing boldly about his
allegiance. What about you? Can you say the same today? Whether you
believe it or not, you are in a spiritual army. If you are not with
Christ then you are against Him. It's that simple. Every morning when
you wake up you will choose whom you will serve during that day.
Every day I strive to serve Christ. I may fall short, but at least I
try.
Satan is out to destroy our land and everyone in it. Get with the
program and sign up for active duty! Sing it loud and proud that you,
this day, are in the Lord's Army!
GO:
1. Whose army are you fighting for today?
2. Are you staying well-equipped to fight off Satan's attacks? If
not, how could you be better-equipped?
3. Today, how can you start serving active duty in the Lord's Army?
