There was a moment in the old westerns, a pivotal time in those stories, when the bad guys have crossed the line and the good guys have had enough. It is in those moments you heard the line, “Mount Up!” That is all that was said, and you knew as men got ready to ride it meant so much more. Watching this moment unfold, I would shift in my seat and get ready, time for a reckoning … the showdown was coming. And so it always is with good vs. evil. Our hearts know this. We believe … No, we count on the bad guys getting it in the end.
This is our story. Evil for far too long has had the upper hand. That is why Christ deputizes those who want to sign on. He gives us position and authority. We ride with the King, going after the oppressed, the captive, and those being held for ransom (Matthew 28:19-22). We have his authority and are allowed … even invited to wield it for good. We get to play a part in the great rescue of hearts and the defeat of evil. We have the honor of interceding and bringing another day of reckoning against the forces that oppose Life, Love, and Freedom.
May we press on and be bold in Him, may we be watchful and expedient with our days, and may we be a generation that shines light in the darkness. “Arise, shine; for your light has come, the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. “For behold, darkness will cover the earth And deep darkness the peoples; But the LORD will rise upon you And His glory will appear upon you. ‘Nations will come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.’” — Isaiah 60:1–3.
Guys, now is the time!!! There is a battle to fight for our families, our children, our neighborhoods. So many of us want to ride off in the sunset and not address what God is doing in our lives. Many of us don’t think that God has a purpose for each of us. Men, He is still writing your story! Let’s mount up
