We Choose The Hard Thing For The Glory And Honor Of God Guided Devotional

Featured Post

Victory is ours for this is promised and is assured by our heavenly father. We are proud members of God's army for which we chose to be apart of. We have chosen to become a body of committed soldiers fighting on the battlefield of life daily operating in the assurance that we don't fight loosing battles. The irony of being a soldier for God means you're in a battle everyday and we fight not with swords or guns but we fight to stand still and to stand firm in who we have pledged our life of service to.  

We are fighting by our persistence to remain faithful to God, living in accordance to the rules He has designed. We fight in showing our solidarity to operate not as the world does but as the Chief of our hearts and minds deserves. These daily acts of living a consecrated and committed life is a worthy victory to be recognized but not easily obtained. For the Lord takes great pleasure in knowing He has an army of believers who are steadfast in Him despite the battles they fight in the world, in their hearts in their minds, in their spirits, in their relationships, on their jobs, and with their enemies. Knowing that each day we rise in victory to take on the day fully committed to live  in the ways of the Lord sends out a resounding message that nothing we face on this journey of life will turn us away from Him and because of this the Lord seeks to reward and to renew His  faithful and reliable solidiers.

Have you noticed the benefits of being a faithful soldier?  Have you discovered that along the way you have gained a greater sense of self and strength? Have you discovered that you could do and handle much more than you ever thought you could? Have you discovered that the God of creation trust you and calls you a treasured friend and companion? Have you noticed that grace and favor follows you and encapsulates your every being? Have you discovered the more you fight to hold onto God the more He showers you with His spirit and a divine determination to seek Him and to hold onto Him the more?  

When we take the time to look over the journey of our service we often think of what it cost and how it hurt but we are not seeing how we are renewed along the way to be who we are and who we are becoming in Christ.  We fail to see that through His spirit we are renewed and elevated in Him to handle and to do greater and greater things because we choose to take the road less traveled and willing to face the trials of this life unwavering in our commitment to live and to serve God. This is a daily choice, a daily fight, and a daily victory. For each day we stay strong living fully committed to God we win and with each day that passes we gain in our spiritual status with the king.

So lets be renewed in our furvor and pride that daily we choose to stand with and fight on behalf of our God and He inturn favors us with the more of Him filling us up with divine gifts that will benefit us not only in this life but in the life to come. Fight on knowing we are a strong and proud people for each day we take up our cross and choose the hard thing for the glory and honor of God.
