Soldier of The Cross, are you willing to be changed into His Likeness?
As we get older, it seems that absent the habit of prayerful obedience, there is a stiffening of the soul.
Why? Because as we move on, the flesh identifies its points of comfort and control. Soldier, the most important thing you can do is to make sure you are a humble before Him and that you are telling Him you are willing to be changed. You must tell Him so aloud.
Those who agree with Him are transformed into the His Likeness. Shouldn't it be assumed that there is nothing else more attractive to you?
The [uncompromisingly] righteous shall flourish like the palm tree [be long-lived, stately, upright, useful, and fruitful]; they shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic, stable, durable, and incorruptible]. Planted in the house of the Lord, they shall flourish in the courts of our God. [Growing in grace] they shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap [of spiritual vitality] and [rich in the] verdure [of trust, love, and contentment]. They are living memorials to show that the Lord is upright and faithful to His promises; He is my Rock and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
Psalm 92: 12-15 (Amplified Bible)
