One of the most well-known quotes in gaming came from the original Legend of Zelda, when at the beginning of his adventure Link is told, “It’s Dangerous To Go Alone”. Ironically, Link is then immediately sent out all alone with nothing more than a sword to keep him company… not quite the companionship he had in mind. While being armed did at least provide Link with the ability to defend himself through the challenges he would face, I have a feeling he would’ve preferred a companion in his adventures to help him solve puzzles and take on waves of enemies rather than just a weapon to protect him on his quest.

While the Bible is absolutely our most potent weapon against the spiritual darkness that is at war with us, we are NOT sent out alone into our respective battlefields. As a matter of fact, without an active connection to Christ and His Spirit dwelling in us we are completely incapable of completing ANY of the missions He has for us on this planet. He didn’t simply arm us with His Word and wish us good luck, He has promised to never leave us or forsake us because He knows it is too dangerous for us to go alone. Before we head out on our adventures for the day, let’s make sure we are taking Him with us everywhere we go and following His directed path. We will only face today’s battles alone if we choose to.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. John 15:4

For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:5b
