(WED) Life of a Soldier

There is one verse that really speaks to me...
"No one that is a solider gets involved with civilian affairs"

I think Paul's epistles just naturally gives some kind of
challenge every verse...
We as Christians, as Soliders for Christ... must not take our
eyes off from Christ !! It's a profound statement that we hear
all the time, but so hard to fulfill ~~

The older I get, the more I think about FOCUSED life.
Also, as I am serving church with different leadership
options, I think it is so easy to loose sight of the GOAL
that is given to me. The hardest of all, is that there is actually
less accountability ( we think ) when we do things for God...
I think a lot of what our youth kids will learn is really
dependant on how serious all of us are with our calling
for our youth.

And so... "we have no business with civilians" it says ~~
doesn't mean that we should only HANG OUT with Christians,
but it is actually saying, whatever we do.. we really have to do
for Christ and His glory....

That is a big challenge ~~
I sometimes think about "how cool it would be ... " if I can actually
think about Christ all day long and how to serve Him!
I think it's a goal that all of us can have... something worthy
of our effort ~~ to live a life focused for Him.
