military

Ephesians 6:13-20
When I was 7 or 8 my oldest brother joined the military. His first assignment was basic training. They shaved his head and gave him a uniform. They taught him how to follow orders, not question authority, and that when his body thought it couldn't go anymore - surprisingly- it could. Then he began to learn the skills he would need to perform his job with such efficiency that others' lives were affected. My brother was never sent off to fight in any wars, but if his call had come, he would've been prepared.
When we join God's army, is it so different? We should be changed (inside and out) so much that it is noticeable. We should learn to listen to orders and not question God's authority. The Lord teaches us that His strength is never-ending and will never fail, even when we think we can't go on. He gives us that strength!! He has given us the "handbook" we need to learn the skills we need to affect others' lives. Not all of us will be sent to march in infantry, but we should all be prepared to do so.
