What can we learn from Master Chief

I'm thinking that we Christians can learn a lot about the Christian life from Master Chief. You will notice that Master Chief never leaves home without putting on his full armor, much like we should never leave home without putting on the full armor of God.

Eph 6:13
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
NIV

Master Chief has a voice in his head that he listens to, this voice in the form or Cortana, guides and leads Master Chief through his daily struggles. We Christians have the Holy Spirit living in us and we should be tuned in to his voice, so that He can lead and guide us through each and every day.

Acts 1:1-2
Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.
NIV

Master Chief will use any weapon available in order to achieve his objective and when there is no choice of weapon, he looks for ways to make the weapon he has more effective. We as Christians should be wielding whatever weapons the Lord provides us in order to be effective in the ministry He is giving us. When the Lord gives us the gift of faith, we must step out in that faith and act. When he gives us the gift of service, we need to be looking for a place to serve. We win battles when we use the weapons the Lord wants us to use, but only as we are trusting Him.

1 Cor 12:4-11
4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. 6 There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons.  7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; 9 to another faith  by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various  kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.
NASU

Finally when Master Chief is in the heat of battle and begins to take damage, he backs out and finds a quiet place to recharge, until he is once again recharged and ready to go. We Christians need to be aware of when we are under attack and begin to take on damage. When we find ourselves in this position, we need to find a quiet place where we can come into the presence of God in order to recharge and find healing.

Luke 5:16
16 But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray .
NASU

Its true that I am a fan of Halo and of Master Chief, but I am more than able to separate reality from fantasy. I have to admit that sometimes I feel like Master Chief being sent out into the battle on behalf of my Lord, into a world where many believe that my Lord is nothing more than fantasy.  I will press on in order to Finish the Fight!
