You know, He could call us home in the night tonight.
Or in the middle of any of tomorrow's duties.
Therefore, we must set ourselves to press into the immediate task. The flesh always wants to feel as though it is investing in something that can be harvested. Now. The Spirit woos us to invest in eternity, and that by The Cross.
Being a Soldier of The Cross means giving all we can to the matter at hand, even when we do not know why. It means being willing to be a conduit of Love to those who might not either recognize or deserve it.
It means death to the flesh. It means service with abandon. It often means feeling like a squished worm, but we continue on.
We are not imitating someone who is out of sight. We are following hard after The One who gave Himself for us, and Whom we trust.
There simply isn't anything else.
So, do the next thing with all you are.
Do it in His name and tell Him so.
Aloud.
