Do you have a stated purpose for the day, or are you tumbling from one thing to another in an attempt to get things done and put them behind?
Soldier of The Cross, Soldiers must act like Soldiers. You have your orders, and they are in God's Word.
If you have met the Savior, if you can say you know it, if you know He has touched you and if you are willing to agree with God, you must set out to serve whether you are ten years old, or a hundred and ten years old.
Every word is important. Every thought is important. Every decision has a consequence. God's Word must be taken in afresh each day in order to have fuel for prayer. Prayer must set the tone for the day and prayer is establishes your operational availability as the moments pass.
We have been told that we are not able to understand it all now, but that we will understand it in the bye and bye. Do believe it? Do you agree with it?
Let your hours reflect it.
Years before I met the Lord, I was a graduate student in
In those years, the biggest conflict I had was an encounter with an old man in the basement of a big department store on the main drag. I took a package into a tiny room to be wrapped for mailing and the worker was at least eighty years old. His hands were gnarled and twisted with arthritis. He had to secure the edges of the wrapping paper with his little fingers and it was awkward and visibly difficult.
My problem was that the old man was exploding with joy. I know it was the Lord. I avoided his eyes because they were filled with Love and I knew he was already aware of my own empty spiritual condition.
I never saw him again, but at the moment of salvation, I knew the Lord had arranged that meeting and that I had been in the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Soldier, cheapen nothing.
Live for eternity.
Resolve to claim the verses that let you know wherever your feet are planted, the ground is the Lord's
Soldiers must act like Soldiers.
Move!
