How can we be a good soldier? Verse four explains, “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.” When we go through hard times, we need to keep our eyes on the One who has chosen us to be His soldier and keep our eyes off the world. Worldly things will pass away. The rewards of serving Christ last for eternity.
Dear God, help me keep my eyes on You. This is one of the difficult times of life. It is now that I need to keep my eyes on You and not get entangled with the things of the world. Thank You for choosing me to be Your soldier. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
