On the Brink off extinction
By Pastor Ricky Kurth
The
extinction of the dodo bird has been so well known for such a long time
that it has given rise to the expression, “dead as a dodo.” There is,
however, another dodo that we fear is also on the verge of extinction:
“Eleazar the son of Dodo…smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory that day…” (II Sam. 23:9,10).
Eleazar’s
name appears here among a list of “the mighty men whom David had” (v.
8), and in smiting the Philistines until “his hand clave unto the
sword” and they literally had to pry his fingers from the hilt, this
dedicated soldier proved himself mighty indeed! What an inspiration this
makes him to those of us who are called upon by God to “endure
hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ” (II Tim. 2:3)—and that
would include all who name the name of Christ. It is the duty of every
believer to “put on the whole armour of God” (Eph. 6:11), armor which
includes “the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God” (Eph.
6:17). Continue to use it even when someone tells you they don’t believe
the Bible is God’s Word. No soldier ever sheathed his sword just
because his opponent said he didn’t believe it would cut!
