“THE LAST STRAW!”
Ephesians 6:13
“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
I am sure that you have heard the expression: Well, that’s the last straw! We've probably all experienced a time when it felt like life's pressures had become so great we could hardly go on when another discouraging issue suddenly arose. It was then that “the last straw” phrase was muttered.
There is certainly little doubt that we live in an evil day. Not only do we live in an evil day, but the evil seems to get worse with each passing day. Doing what is Godly and right is now seen as being wrong and evil.
Along with the reality of facing “the last straw,” we also come to the reality that it is time to stand for what is right. It is time for battle! Today's scripture passage indicates that we are to take on the full armor of God and stand firm in our defense of the Word of God.
In standing firm and sure for the gospel, there may be casualties. I would much rather be wounded or even killed in defending the cause of Christ than going along with the masses who deny the faith. This is the last straw -- what are we going to do about it? I, for one, am going to stand clad with God’s full armor. Join me?
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
