During the Korean War, enemy forces were advancing on a military unit known as the Baker Company. This unit was cut off from the rest of the regiment, and for several hours, no word was heard, even after repeated attempts to communicate with them.
Finally, headquarters picked up a faint signal. “Baker Company, do you read me?” “This is Baker Company.”
“Baker Company, what is your situation?”
“The enemy is to the east of us. The enemy is to the west of us. The enemy is to the north of us, and the enemy is to the south of us…and we are not going to let them escape this time!”
That is the kind of attitude we ought to have as believers. But sometimes, we feel like we are in the same dilemma as the Baker Company: the enemy is to the north of us, the south of us, the east of us, and the west of us. Everywhere we look, we see the devil’s handy work in our culture, society, our families even our churches. We can feel isolated and all alone.
It can be overwhelming. We may think, “What’s the use?”
But let me encourage you – Jesus lives to intercede for us,(see Heb 7:5) and he is praying “FOR YOU” right now. Friend, he hasn’t left you. He is calling you by name. We must have faith and say, “We can move forward. God can work through our lives.”
