Bible Verse of The Day – 1-1-21

2 Timothy 2:4 (NKJV) 4 No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.

I may have mentioned in the past that I am a passionate person. When I do something, I give it 100%. I go full-bore, full steam ahead! It’s all or nothing.

That’s just how God wired me. It’s part of who He made me to be.

So, I have had to lean on God heavily during these last few months and let Him lead me when it comes to how to spend my time and where to put my efforts.

Let me explain.

I am, first and foremost, a man of God, a teacher of the Word of Truth. I love who God has made me and what He has done in the lives of Pastor Ellie and I.

I also love my country. I love the freedom that we have as a nation. And I love the fact that our nation was founded on Biblical principles and Biblical truths.

So, when I see our country going through the trials and tribulations that we have faced recently, I tend to speak out very passionately about what I see.

Because of my technological background, I have a God-given talent for being able to research and dig up relevant information about these types of events, helping to find truth in the midst of the turmoil.

And that tech background, combined with the drive in me to pursue truth and justice, and make it known to others, makes it very easy for me to create ways to share and spread that info via platforms already available and also by platforms that I could easily create myself.

But I recently had to make a choice as to where I would put my efforts and spend my time.

My all or nothing personality needed to choose between my passion for God and my passion for my nation. Because of this, God told me to be careful that my passion for Him always remains at the forefront of who I am.

Since we are engaged in Kingdom warfare, I consciously choose each and every day to dedicate myself to the endeavors that God has placed before me, as a soldier in His army.

I choose to be His warrior. I choose every day to fight in His army, for His kingdom.

Yes, I am still passionate about my nation that I love so dearly. And, yes, I still take some time and energy to fight for that kingdom too. But only on a very small scale compared to the eternal Kingdom that we are all a part of.

We are engaged in warfare. Let’s be careful not to entangle ourselves in affairs that are not beneficial to those battles and to the kingdom of God.
