Toy Guns, Model Soldiers, or —
February 18th, 2013
2 Corinthians 10:1-11
I was a tomboy and had toy guns, model soldiers, and a model tank. Playtime’s over. The battles, physical and spiritual, are real now and regular, if not continuous. Even for us, Christ’s own.
So how do we live and be prepared for battle, physical and spiritual? If we live and fight as the world does, we will lose even if we win, it can have eternal consequences. So what do we do? Paul gives us the answer in these verses. Like Paul, who lived a godly life and dealt with the Corinthians, we can live a godly life and be prepared for any battle, physical or spiritual.
These verses remind me of the story of the atheist who demolished Christianity, then was demolished by a young girl who stood and sang, “Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus.” Like that young girl I can live a godly life and be prepared for any battle, physical or spiritual, so long as I remember, as Paul did, whose I am and whose plans, methods, and weapons to use. How about you?
