Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

      If you know what the purpose of your life is, all your 
sub-purposes fall into line.
     If you have decided to be a Living Sacrifice, that means 
everything about the way you look is because you reflect the Lord. 
Every article of clothing you wear or let your children wear, should 
also reflect the Lord.
     The purpose of your house or apartment is to honor the Lord.
It is neat and orderly because it has been given to you in order
that you might receive others in the name of Jesus.
     The use of your time is dictated by your purpose in life.  If you 
say you are His, then you may not sit around and chat for hour
after hour, day after day.  Idle conversation is worse than other
laziness, because it is strictly forbidden in God's Word.
     Am I too rigid?  I think not.  Soldier of the Cross, is it possible you
have been living with the assumed idea that you could let your
guard down sometimes?
     No.
     It is not allowed.
     Every thought and action - every word is to be affirmatively chosen.
     You are not an animal.  You have choice.
     You were created in His image and He longs to prepare you for
eternity.
     Soldier, submit.
     Do it aloud.
     Do it now.
