Who’s Watching Your Back?
On the battlefield, soldiers are trained to watch each other’s backs. It’s a matter of survival. Yet, *Abner, a skilled warrior, died as a fool,* through deception, He was alone and unguarded. Joab took him aside at the gate of Hebron and struck him down in private. Why? Because Abner had no one watching his back (2 Samuel 3:27).
As a Christian soldier, the race may be personal, but the battle is not meant to be fought in isolation. You need people of like mind, men and women pursuing the same purpose, to stand with you, to pray with you, to watch your back.
There are many Joabs around, deceivers, distractions, and dangers that strike when you’re unguarded. Don’t die like a fool. Don’t fall because you walked alone.
Don't be A Lone Ranger
Wake up, Soldier.
