Dedication Of A Soldier

A soldier is trained for full obedience to their officer.  They make their main focus to be on the situation for which they are called.  Their tasks may include risking their own lives to save others.  There is much to be learned by this example when we choose to follow Christ.  If Jesus is our main focus and we are willing to be obedient in all circumstances it could mean we are called to put our desires and dreams in second place in order to allow Christ to demonstrate His love through us. 

2 Timothy 2:3-4

 Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.  Soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them.
