I can remember some great times as a kid playing guns.  Throw on my dads old camo.  Grab any stick the shape of a gun, along with a few pine cone grenades ( a big no no at my sons school by the way who knew, we do now!) and run out to the old fort.  Soon friends would gather, the enemy would attack.  Eventually  ammo would run low and the air would ring with phrases like “fire in the hole, contact left, sniper in the open, and MEDIC!”  Well I have to admit its still fun today its called paintball people!  don’t be a hater!

This got me to thinking about the purpose of camo….. to blend in of course.  To not stand out to enemy fire!  Humm……  I have camo….. do I blend in???   Do I put on my camo with the people around me?  As a christian do I hide from enemy fire?  what does that say about my theology (belief about who God is)?

^“If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.  Remember the words I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.  If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.   They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me.”

Jesus to his disciples

Hummm…. Lord Let me make decisions about what I say and do that come from following you in faith… let me honor you first, trusting my relationships, and reputation, to you.

What about you all?  Is it just me?  Do you have camo?   What do you think that your camo says about God?
