Today’s Thought “Put Your Gun Away” G. Ward

“Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.” Ephesians 6:13

Commitment unto the Lord involves implicit trust of His way. Are we prepared on what that decision may look like? In a sense many of us have chosen to extract the historical accounts of many patriarchs far more faithful, who endured great tragedy while serving. Holy God even proposed that Lazarus become sick unto death (Jn.11:1-4).

The avoidance of the world’s flaming arrows happens when our decision to make the gospel known becomes the precedent for our existence. The context however, is more indicative of spiritual preparation than physical guarantee in safety (Eph.6:18-20). The question yet remains that was given the Prophet Isaiah upon his commissioning, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Like Isaiah, will your response be, “Here am I. Send me!”

Happy Friday!
