Spiritual Warfare Renewed
December 29, 2006
I’m addicted. I’ll admit it. I’ve watched the Band of Brothers DVD set so many times my wife can quote some of the lines. I constantly find myself in awe of some of the things that the men of Easy Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne in World War II endured in order to accomplish their mission.
Watching the interviews at the end of the video, I almost can feel the dedication that those men had to their country and the cause that they were fighting for. My grandfather was in the Pacific during this time. His letters home never showed any questioning of the integrity of “the cause.” Yes, he missed his family, but he never questioned why he was doing what he was doing. Were there struggles along the way? Sure.
Guadalcanal,
Okinawa, sickness, poor living conditions, bad food, you name it.
He kept on pressing on…
Our lives may not be in danger the way those brave men and women’s were, but our souls are right smack in the middle of the hardest fought conflict of the ages.
As we get ready for a new year, let’s renew our dedication to the One who leads us in the spiritual war we live each and every day.
