"You are the light of the world..." Matt 5:14

This is our duty as Saints of the Most High. Yet, some days it is really hard to shine, isn't it? As soldiers in this spiritual battle, it is our mission to glorify the King of Kings with our lives. As tenants in the world, we fall prey to its seduction, dimming our light. It is for this reason that this blog was started. In the military, after action reports are used to review the activities of specific events. This retrospection forces analysis of these activities in light of the outcome. Likewise, willing soldiers of Christ are invited to briefly review their daily lives, and note where God is working, recognize where they have fallen short, and prepare for the next battle. The hope is to not only provide accountability for our daily actions, but to also recognize where God is working and the part he wants us to play in His mission.

Waiting

"I will lift up my soul to you, LORD.
2I trust in you, my God,
do not let me be ashamed;
do not let my enemies triumph over me.
3Indeed, no one who waits on you will be ashamed,
but those who offend for no reason will be put to shame.
4Cause me to understand your ways, LORD;
teach me your paths.
5Guide me in your truth and teach me;
for you are the God who delivers me.
All day long I have waited for you.
6Remember, LORD, your tender mercies and your gracious love;
               indeed, they are eternal!" 

There is so much going on these days that I find it extra comforting that God is in control.  As I wrestle in prayer and petition the Lord over certain things, I have to keep reminding myself that the Lord's timing is always perfect...and its never mine.  So, I will wait on the Lord, because I trust Him.  As I wait, I pray He will teach me and guide me.  I know the Lord will provide.  His mercies and love are forever.
