Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

14They will make war against the Lamb,
but the Lamb will overcome them because
he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and
with him will be his called, chosen and
faithful followers."
Revelation 17:14 (New International Version)

Reflection:

I'm not much for war, I have a tendency to
believe the many references that Christ
used when He talked of Peace and Love.
It is very difficult to love your enemy and
try to kill him at the same time.
War has been fought for, so called noble
causes, and some for selfish gain. Many
have gone to war believing their destiny
was to rule the world, others fought to make,
what they believe, the world a safe, saner
place. One of the big problems with war
is that it is so very difficult to know the
difference between the heroes and the
villains.
There is a war that will take place, as a
matter of fact, the battles are going on now.
In this war there is no mistaking the good
guys from the bad guys. It is the war
between Satan and God. It is a fight to the
finish, but God will emerge triumphant!
By the way who side are you on?

Prayer:

Father when it comes right down to it, I
would often rather quit than fight. But I
remember that Your Son endured death
on the cross, so that I might enjoy His
triumph. In my own battles, Father, keep
me mindful of the Savior Who stands with
me. In His name I pray AMEN
