Jump in Anywhere...

So often Christians have said to me, "I just don't know where I fit in." This reminds me of a response that General Sherman made to a young soldier who had become detached from his own troops. Coming up on the fierce battle headed by General Sherman, he asked the old war veteran, "What do you want me to do, where do you want me to git?"

"There is fighting going on everywhere; jump in anywhere!"
That statement holds true for anyone who has signed up to be a soldier in the Army of God.

I can just hear it now, "I didn't sign on to be a soldier, I just wanted to land in a bed of roses and get in on all the promises of God, then, go to heaven when it's all over."

Brother, it doesn't take long to come to the realization that God has given us the Power of the Holy Spirit to guide us through the battlefields to rescue the perishing.

His promises assure us of victory if we do not become weary, fall back and curl up in fear, wishing to die.

As I am writing to you to encourage you this morning, you can be sure that I, too, must fight the good fight of faith for my own family, health and finances but the best remedy for fatigue and battle weariness is to jump in anywhere and do battle for someone who doesn't know our good God as well as we know Him

It really will get your mind off yourself. Therein is the secret to victory over your own temptations to fear or be discouraged.

Just jump in anywhere, you are needed on each end, in the middle and anywhere in between. Look around you...there is the old man on the street, looking at you as you pass in your car, do you know what he is looking for or thinking? Yes, You Know! He is looking for a miracle, and you are it. Stop, give what you can. Your whole day is filled with opportunities just like that. Go ahead, Just jump in anywhere.

That's what I do!

Love
