Grace for your spirit April 15, 2013

Grace for your spirit
Suffer hardship with me as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.  No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.  II Timothy 2:3-4

Can you imagine someone joining the army, going through the induction process and then saying, "O.K. then, I'm going home now.  Call me if you need me for anything?"  As a soldier, we should expect separation, sacrifice, and service to please the one who enlisted us.  Should we expect any less when we join the Lord's army.  After we go through the process of becoming part of His army, do we give that message to the Lord? " We're going home now.  Call us if you need us for anything."  We need the separation from the world, sacrifice and serve in the Lord's army.  As the song says, "Soldiers of Christ, Arise, and put your armor on.
