Psalm 110:3 Your people shall be volunteers in the day of your power.
I took this verse from the KJV bible, as my bible didn’t have the verse so eloquently written. My NABRE Bible has “your is princely power from the day of your birth.” I like how the other versions state that his people will be ‘volunteers.’ They knowingly and willingly will go into the battle alongside God. Having known and seen the power of God, they do not fear what is up ahead and will put on their armor to fight against the devil. There will be no draft, where people are forced into a fight. Though those who don’t stand with God may be forced by the evil side.
This battle is not one that will be in the future; it is going on now. Every day, good is fighting against evil. Every day, we are having to decide what armor we are putting on, who’s flag we are flying. God’s volunteers choose daily to stand firm, stand united against the evils that are present in their lives. The choices they have to make, what and who they allow in their lives, how to respond, etc. are all small battles in the big war. Some people will have more battle scars than others, some will have more bad days than others. But the key point is that GOD is alongside us each and every day, as we choose to fight for him.
Whose side will you be on?
