Today is the first day of the American New Year.
For Christians, it is not only a day of reflecting on what God has done, but also a day of looking forward to knowing Him more intimately, serving Him more devotedly and becoming more like Him.
The Soldier of The Cross will be able to see Jesus more clearly as the years pass, because he has determined to live for Him and for nothing else. The Soldier has committed himself in prayer and he continues to commit himself to living for and unto the Lord.
The Soldier of The Cross does not resent correction and is not easily offended. He delights in seeing the Lord and in watching Him work.
The Soldier stands on The Word.
The Soldier is looking toward eternity and is careful not to build up treasure here.
The Soldier of The Cross knows Freedom.
