Our God:

     Oh, Soldier, you must pursue the Lord.

 

     From the beginning to the end of the Word, He makes it clear that you must go after Him.  He has initiated, and you must respond.

 

     There is simply nothing else.

 

      You are a Soldier of The Cross.  That means that you have made the decision to leave behind your lower desires and ambitions.  You have declared yourself for His agenda and there is nothing else.

 

     What does that mean?

 

     It means that the false things said about you are to be ignored apart from prayer.  It means that you are to love the unlovely.  It means that you may or not may be vindicated in this life and you agree with God that is it His issue and not yours.

 

     Soldier, what is your ultimate goal?  Is it to stand before Him and be able to say that you agreed with Him?  Of course.

 

      Do it now in prayer.  He will inoculate you from the penetrating power of evil and will point you out as His Soldier.

  

     Tell Him now.  Aloud.
     Today.
