Sometimes,
Lord, we say, “I can’t”, when we really mean, “I won’t.” We decide
what’s important to us. You look at our chosen way of life, and You say,
“You yourself have decided it.” You see our self-centred life, and You
say, “So shall your judgment be” (1 Kings 20:40). Can we change? Yes!
You say to us, “Come, strengthen yourself, and consider well what You
have to do” (1 Kings 20:12). You say to us, “Be strong in the Lord”
(Ephesians 6:10). Help us to “wait on You and renew our strength”
(Isaiah 40:31).
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."
