If, Lord, we are to live for You, we must learn to die to self: "Put to
death what is earthly in you ... put off the old nature .... put on
the new nature" (Colossians 3:5-11).When there is less of self in us
and more of Christ in us, there will be more blessing for others:
"death is at work in us, but life in you" (2 Corinthians 4:12).
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
