Remember that old gospel song;‘Onward Christian Soldier‘?I loved that song as a little kid, way before I even had a clue to what it meant.It makes me think of Israel.As a citizen of Israel, it is mandatory for everyone…male of female…to serve 2 years in the military.Those people all ‘KNOW‘ what they will, at some point, have to face.I think we Christians should have that same mindset.As a soldier of Christwe must assume that we will; • Face many battles we don’t want to fight • Deal with many hardships we didn’t create • Battle the enemy to save relationships he wants to destroy & • Make it through this world without being destroyed by the liar who runs it.But that is what a warrior does.He marches on, even when he KNOWS he will have to endure some – Difficulty – Discomfort & – DisasterLet us all be those kinds of warriors.Onward Christian Soldiers.
