All soldiers go through basic training which
challenges their physical fitness, provides weapon proficiency and
gives them a theoretical knowledge of warfare. They must put their
training to use and pull together as a team to secure the victory
against an opponent that is actively resisting them. Christians have
an enemy in Satan and he isn’t content to just kill us, he wants to
wipe out humanity because we are made in the image of God. Moses went from being an exalted prince of Egypt to a
lowly shepherd. God activated him at the burning bush and he was
able to put into practice the many things he had learned in his
first eighty years on earth. Joshua was an understudy of Moses but
eventually he had to stand on his own and know whether God was truly
with him. The prophet Samuel was younger than most when he moved
from theory to reality. The apostle Paul had a life changing
experience where everything he knew to be true was turned upside
down and a hated Christian showed up to deliver healing and confirm
the message he had already heard from God. God will reward the
effort we put toward our walk with Him. |
