Now and Then:

     Soldier,  God's Word says that it is the  Now that lures us and it is the Then that calls us.

     The Now is by sight.  The Now screams to be resolved and demands the evidence of that resolution.  Christians who live in the Now are frustrated, negative and always worried about something.

     Christians who live in the Then are seeing the Lord and agreeing with all that He has said, in spite of the gravity of the Now.

     Being a Soldier of The Cross means choosing what He has said over sight.  Over fear.  Over the storm.

     Tell Him.  Agree with Him. 
     Alone and aloud.
