A Good Soldier

Listen from:
THREE boys were having fun playing in the woods one afternoon. Suddenly one of them left off playing.
“I have forgotten something,” he said. “I forgot to pray this morning; you must wait for me.” He went into a quiet corner of the woods and kneeling down he prayed. Returning to the others he was soon merrily engaged in the game.
That brave boy grew up to be a good soldier of Jesus Christ, and not ashamed of His service. What a privilege to serve in the ranks of the great Captain of our salvation, the Lord Jesus, our Saviour.
