Dear Kingsmen.
Greetings from and old soldier. I thought I'd pop an encouragement in.
Guys, do not give up on your walk with God. The trials and testings will come, and so many times, we get stripped down to our bare minimum. Our bad habits resurface, things that we once thought we have overcome come flooding back. We get choked, we feel condemned and when we try to reach through the dark cloud of confusion and condemnation to try to touch and see the face of God, or even to look for His Hand amidst the muck, our efforts hit the ceiling and come tumbling back in our faces.
God seems far away, and we feel like the crappiest human beings on the face of this planet. Amazing Grace at this point feels like some distant, high and mighty concept too wonderful for sinners like us.
We despair, wonder why we have to go through this. We berate ourselves, shake our fists at the circumstances, maybe even turn our frustration against God and cry out "why aren't You there?"
I don't know how many of you guys out there identify with this, and maybe you do not have to, because I was basically sharing about myself when I could not see God's Hand amidst my own trials of pain and injustice. When I came to Church during those days, my face was a thundercloud.
But I chose to honour God with what I had left. I chose to continue following Him through the flame and the flood because I know that "all things come together for the good of those who love Him". I chose to, and made the commitment to come to service even when human logic was screaming at me to backoff and go my own way.
My friends, I do not know your specific trials, but the day we accepted Christ, we became soldiers in His army. And as soldiers of the Lord we will encounter adversity. Do we then choose to be pummeled by our circumstances, our condemning thoughts or even fears about what people think of us when we return? Or do we choose to grit our teeth through it all, look to our CO in heaven and declare, "I will follow You through the flames and the flood, I have made that decision the day I accepted You and I AM NOT GOING TO TURN BACK."
And I realize that the biggest trial is still just a passing phase. Will we be found faithful at the end of it?
