Last One Standing

Hi All,
Today as I drove home from work, a 5 minute drive that I turned into a 15, I was in serious praise mode to the song "Last One Standing" by Mercy Me. Here are the lyrics to the first verse and the chorus.
Don’t you count meOut cause I’ve fallen Out cause I’ve fallen down
I have landed Down on my knees Down on my knees again
This is where I’ll find the strength to carry on
This is where I’ll find the strength to stand

I’m gonna be the last one standing
Fighting for something much bigger than me
I’m gonna be the last one standing

What I love about this song is the visual that is provided. When I listen to this song I envision myself on a battle field exhausted and covered with sweat. The fallen lay at my feet and cover the ground around me. With my sword in hand, but too exhausted to raise it, I realize that I am the last one left. Then I ask myself, "Would I fight for the cause of Christ like this?"
Today as I thought about that song I was reminded of the story of Eleazar, one of David's three mighty men.2 Samuel 23: 9-10 Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite. As one of the three mighty men, he was with David when they taunted the Philistines gathered at Pas Dammim for the battle. Then the men of Israel retreated, but he stood his ground and struck down the Philistines till his hand grew tired and froze to the sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day.
So now, you the reader may ask, "When do we fight like this? I am ready to fight, but what does it look like?" Here is your answerEphesians 5:15-16 Be very careful, then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
In short, grow in your relationship with Christ so that you exhibit His character in everything you do.(James 4:8 Come near to God and He will come to near to you.) If you do this, I guarantee you you will experience the battle field, but do not be discouraged. John 16:33 I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
