The battle Part 1

A battle thats needs to be fought. Yet so the soldier worn out by weariness and fatigue. Wondering what would the outcome of the battle. Day after day, night after night, gripping on to his sword and shield. Sweat dripped and flowed down his fore head and brow mixing with the tears. Pain and fear gripped him, wondering when the enemy will strike. Looking around, his comrades, some grimming away, some crying away and some shivering away.

The battle seems to be lost. Everyone seems to have crippled with circumstances and fear. Afterall, its been a long and weary battle. Silently, the soldier knelt down and started crying. From afar, sounds of horses and shouts. Looking ahead, the enemies were approaching at great speed. The soldier looked hopelessly around, none of his comrades were able to muster up any courage or energy to fight on. Is this the end? Just at the moment, he heard a gentle voice saying, "Why are you crying?" The soldier just couldn't speak a single word but continued to cry.

The gentle voice continued, "Do not cry. Stand up and fight". "Do not fear for the Lord of the Host is with you, the enemies will be defeated and the battle will be won". Slowly, every soldier look up. And before them, stands the Commander of the army, the Lord in His gleaming armour as bright as the sun and He is surrounded with air of majesty and authority. Despite of this, the soldiers felt peace, love, joy emitting from Him. He said, "Come to me and fight together with me!" "Let me have your burdens and I will lighten them." As the soldiers were astonished, they have never seem Him before. Their previous commander had deserted them and leaving them to fight alone. Together they decided to fight together with the Lord. The only hope for them was in Him and Him alone. As they stood up, all they had was tattered and broken armour, weapons. They couldn't help but wonder how could they fight in this.

Just this point, the army of the Lord arrive in their gleaming armour. Along with them, they have new armour. The Lord said,"Take off the old clothes and armour and wear this!" "For today the battle belongs to the Lord!" The soldiers quickly changed into the armour and prepare for the oncoming enemies. The Lord said, "Come and eat some food for you all have been fighting and are weary." "Do not fear, for I am with you!" The soldiers went to the table and started eating. The army of the Lord went ahead with the battle and defeated the enemies.
