Do you really want to? Do you really think that there is righteous justification for action or inaction? Do you believe that the relevant leverage applied with forceful intention is worthy of defense? Do you trust Sovereignty enough to stand in the crosshairs believing upon deliverance? What is the nature of fear that it forces men from platforms founded on good, truth and noble guidelines of character? What is earned when nothing is spent in obtaining it?

Does the candid proclamation of unwavering boundary somehow present formidable protection from evil’s encroachment? Does power sit idly as the innocent or vulnerable is dispatched without mercy? What layman endeavors to study, understand and litigate with the wicked simply to bring Glory to the Name of God? What has been given by the Lord, should it ever be abandoned without stand? What is the purpose of bowing out but for better terms?

What is relieved in cleverness or the wily abdication of principle to defend against the wicked objectives of the damned? Does the Truth often win or is it always victorious simply with the allocation of sufficient time? Will the righteous from time to time lose their way and do the bidding of the fallen? What is sufficient threat, unless mirroring established fear to tear a man’s feet away from the foundation of the Rock of Ages? What rivals God’s immovable promise?

Lord, are we left to walk away when we have never been given that fearful spirit? When is it reasonable to assume that this time God will not choose to protect me? Have I slighted the Lord or stand in defiance of His Will without confession? He alone is our judge, even of the wicked and He alone knows that they have been sent as test of faith or given to make war against a saint. My job is love, declaration of His testament, walking my testimony without fear, filled with the Holy Spirit of Promise.
