Face it brethren, we are in the last days. With each passing day,
things continue to wax worse and worse. We know the judgment of God must soon
fall on this country. A preacher has well said, "If God does not judge America,
He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah". Now, it is very easy to blame
the wicked for the mess we are in, but Jesus said, "Ye are the salt of the earth:
but if the salt have lost his saviour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth
good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men." I believe
that we as Christians have, for the most part, fallen down on the job that we've been
given. I also believe though, that God still has His 7000 that have not bowed the knee
to Baal. I also know that, if the Lord tarries, it will get more and more difficult to
"Suck it up and Play the Man".
1. You need to keep your eyes wide open; ...watch ye...
cp. 1Pt. 4:7; 2Tim. 4:5; Rev. 3:2-3
2. You need to keep your feet firmly planted; ...stand fast...cp. Jer. 6:16; 1Th. 3:8; Eph.6:13; 1Cor. 10:12
3. You need to keep your mind on the job; ...quit you like men...cp. 1Sam. 4:9; 2Sam. 10:12
4. You need to keep your body in the battle; ...be strong...cp. 1Sam.17:29; 47; 1Cor.9:27
You need to stop whining and get on the firing line. Maybe you need to
volunteer for the job the Lord has for you? Maybe you've allowed the "cares of this
world" to knock you out of the battle, and it's time to re-enlist? Or perhaps you've
never signed up for duty in the Lord's Army? If so, you need to quit trying to fight
this battle all by yourself and get on the Lord's side.
You'll never regret it!
