Me:  Howdy, Prodigal!  Who is your friend with the knife.

 

Prodigal:  He is just ready for battle that is all.  His king has called him to the fight.

 

Me:  Before he goes I would like to give some encouragement.

 

This is from Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer the founder of Dallas Theological Seminary.

 

Committed Christians are placed on the front lines of the battle.  It’s the place where the enemy’s fiercest pressure is felt, but it also offers the best view of his crushing defeat.  You’ll never grow beyond the power of temptation.  You’ll see it in ever-new, more devious forms.  But your eyes will be filled with the glorious sights God reserves for those who follow Him with the utmost devotion.

We may walk an uphill road, but we walk it with plenty of company—with fellow believers, a cloud of witnesses from the past, and with God Himself.

 

I am in the battle with you right now!  You are not alone.  Lets walk together with God in front.

 

Isaiah 41:10

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

 

Jennifer Van Allen
