NOT IF, BUT WHEN
Today's reading: Deuteronomy 20-22
"When you go out to fight your enemies..." Deuteronomy 20:1 NLT
"Before you go into battle,.." Deuteronomy 20:2 NLT
It's not a matter of IF you will fight, Christian...it's a matter of WHEN.
There will come a time you will battle on your knees. In prayer. Remembering and proclaiming each every promise of His you can recite.
There will come a time you battle your own will. If you should, If you shouldn't. If you can. It it will be beneficial to your walk with the Lord.
There will come a time you take a stand on a dividing line drawn in the sand. A stand on the side of the Lord. Against family members. Against dear friends. Against other believers. Against the not-yet saved.
You will be forced to fight for every belief you have at some point in your Christian walk.
