There are many things that distinguish the Soldier of The Cross.
He or she does not rush in to fix everything.
The submissive follower has a calm spirit, even when the waves are high.
The gaze is a fixed one and the onlooker can follow that gaze.
While this Christian is not a Pollyanna, he or she walks before a God who is completely in control and listens acutely.
There is no condescension, yet there is unfeigned love and encouragement.
So many have advice. So many think they see the problem. So many have the answer. Yet, we have been created in such a way that we must rely on a God who has made it clear that tomorrow will take care of itself. We are to deal with the matter before us and we are to wait on Him in prayer.
There is a protection from deception , and it is The Cross.
I am nothing, I must have nothing, I know nothing save "Christ and Him Crucified" and I am willing and available for anything He wants.
I don't have to know in advance. I don't have to know why.
I am here to follow. I am here to serve. Anything, anywhere, anytime.
Tell Him today. Alone and aloud.
