4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer.
I just liked the vision here of following God without question, doing as he commands me to please him. How will I know what pleases him? being in his word everyday and speaking with him through prayer. I need to being in prayer more.
that is a powerful image.
ReplyDeleteI also like the way this chapter ends.
25 Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope htat God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, woho has taken them captive to do his will.
a good reminder of two things.
1. Treat non-believer with kindess and gentleness.
2. The devil is tryinig to trap all of us with deciet and lies.
agreed, I don't often think about the devils constant attacks on us but should be on guard.
