Warfare isn't a matter of choice.
Whether we enjoy the hope of our salvation or don't want anything to do with Jesus, we are in the middle of a battle field. I personally think it is more fun to pray for all the saints knowing saints everywhere are praying for me than to hemorrhage all alone somewhere. I am Falling In Love With Prayer (actually the title of the book I just started reading).
However, putting on the full armor of God is our choice that we have to make on a daily basis. Take up the whole armor or suffer the unnecessary consequences. Life is messy enough without needing to constantly dress and re-dress our own wounds. Get into the fight, start helping to bandage the wounds of others and remain connected (lock arms) with strong saints. So, when a fiery dart does get through to our flesh (because our flesh left us exposed to the schemes of the devil), someone will be there to clean and dress our wounds.
Remember to put on the whole armor of God. I am praying for you in the Lord.

A great title and a great reminder. It is so a choice isn't it?
