There is a wonderful and divine lubrication that is experienced by those who walk by faith.
When The Soldier of The Cross gazes upon Him and looks toward the heavenly home, the hard things of life are sweetened. It becomes a delightful sacrifice to let go of self-protection, self-exaltation and self-defense.
No longer are the efforts of the enemy a successful distraction.
The Soldier of the Cross has put on the Full Armor. He realizes He is not His own and has been Bought with a Price. He is covered by the Blood. He has the precious down payment of his inheritance - the Indwelling Holy Spirit's Seal of Promise.
Stand still and look.
All will die.
All live only a few years.
All must make an eternal decision.
All will stand before Him.
All will account for his or her use of time. Also for all spoken words.
Everything that is not of faith will be burned away.
Any questions?
