Face The Enemy Head-On!
This
fight ain't got any rear!

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord,
and in the power of his might.” Ephesians
6:10
Historian Shelby Foote tells of a soldier who was wounded at the
battle of Shiloh during the American Civil War and was ordered to go to the
rear.
The fighting was fierce and
within minutes he returned to his commanding officer. "Captain, give me a gun!" he shouted. "This fight ain't got any rear!"
In Ephesians, Paul describes the armor that we should put on
daily.
Have you ever noticed that every part of the body is covered
except for one? The back!
The Lord didn't want us to run away and turn our back toward our
enemy -- it would leave us vulnerable, with no armor to protect us against his
attack!
And just as a dog would when he senses fear, if we run from the
enemy, he will relentlessly chase us until we are broken.
But if we take courage and stand strong in the power of God's
might, then the battle will be the Lord's... and He has already won the
victory!
The battle is raging!
It's time to take up our armor and face the enemy head-on!
There's no turning back! We're in this together! There's so much
work to be done!
