This memorial weekend we honor good soldiers

...who gave the ultimate price for their country. 

As Christians, we are in a spiritual war between good and evil. Our armour against Satan's attacks is staying in God's word. A good soldier fights until the victory is won.

2 Timothy 2:3-4 Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

A good soldier should be focused on what's ahead. Sometimes fear distracts us. God said He will never put anything on us that we can't handle. Sometimes we are distracted by pride of our accomplishments.

The one we fight against is like a lion stalking his prey. Sometimes Satan makes us feel like we're a failure. Failure is never final for a Christian. God can still use you. He's merciful and gracious. If you harken to Him, He will establish your way.

Fight, focus, and be faithful. Strive to be the soldier God called you to be.
