Today's Reading: 2 Timothy 2

Please read 2 Timothy 2 and listen to what the Lord Jesus Christ would like to tell you before reading my Spiritual Journal below. If you would like to learn a simple and good way of Daily Devotion method please read my “Count Down 5” from my Devotion on Fire blog:

You may begin with a song to praise the Lord and complete you devotion by singing another praise song.



凡 在 軍 中 當 兵 的 , 不 將 世 務 纏 身 , 好 叫 那 招 他 當 兵 的 人 喜 悅 。
                                 

提 摩 太 後 書 2:4


No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.

2 Timothy 2:4

    What I got today from Jesus is: You are a soldier, no part time job!
    
    What I got from Jesus today is a reminder of what He told me in  1981. The time I was working as a Music Officer in the Hong Kong Government while He was calling me to go to the seminary to prepare myself to be an Anglican priest.

    Actually I was thinking whether I could stay on as a Music Officer while waiting to to go to the seminary. But Jesus used this verse to command me that I was already a soldier under Him and a soldier could not do any part time job. So, I quitted and focus myself to be used by Jesus totally.

    Do you know that you are a soldier too? Jesus might not call you to become a full time pastor but we are all soldiers for Jesus. How focused are you so that you can be a good soldier fighting a good fight for Jesus and not doing your part time job thinking that you still can be a good soldier?

    You are a soldier, no part time job!  

Dear Lord Jesus,
Lead us to become a good soldier following your lead to fight a good fight for you to extend your mighty Kingdom.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
