In our day to day lives as we go about doing all the things we need to do for survival, it is easy for me to forget that I am really in the middle of a huge conflict. Things are going well, I get side tracked in everyday living, then theres a small bump in the road. I don’t think anything about it and then theres another one. Then another, and they begin to happen more frequently and its like the Lord has to push me to get my attention and I realize whats going on. Why do I have to get so sidetracked before I open my eyes and see?
We have been called to a warefare and as soldiers we need to be ever alert. There are only 4 positions in war:
- offensive
- defensive
- detente
- retreat
Satan is only concerened when we are in the offensive position. I think about all the talk in our society about tolerance and not wanting to force issues because it make others uncomfortable. We have followed Satan into the valley of Ono to seek detente. However, our enemy will never be satisfied with co-existance. We need to move from the reactionary (defensive) position and stop talking detente and launch a new offensive. Pauls battle language states that our “wrestling is”, not was or will be, but is a continuing factor in our lives as Christians. If we truly believe that we hold the truth… what are we doing?
