The Lord’s Army

I was getting ready this morning, minding my own business when I heard a proclamation from outside my house. It was loud. It was proud. It was my 4-year-old son singing at the top of his voice, “I’m in the Lord’s Army. Yes, sir!” He was sitting with his light saber in hand singing his praise to the General of the Heavenly Host. When we play sports, we go into battle. Sides are drawn, boundaries set, and the battle begins. No matter what the sport, we choose whom we will compete for and against. It is no different in our walk with Christ. Every day we battle against evil. We are in a war for our souls. God wants us to choose a side.

Evan, my son, made his choice. He didn’t care if the neighbors heard him singing about his allegiance. What about us? Can we say the same? Whether we believe it or not, we are in a spiritual army. If we are not with Christ, we are against Him. It is that simple. Every day when we wake up, we must choose whom we will serve that day. Every day I strive to serve Christ.

Satan wants to destroy our land and everyone in it. Let’s sign up for active duty and sing proudly that we are in the Lord’s Army!
