I want to be on God’s Special Ops team...
“Then David again gathered all the elite troops in Israel, 30,000 in all.”
2 Samuel 6:1 NLT
I am pretty sure David’s elite crew were the fastest, the strongest, and the bravest. However, I am not so sure that Jesus’ team has to have those qualifications.
His elite team players only have one requirement. Love, love, and more love.
Love, sold-out, life-altering love for Him first. That doesn’t mean you or I have to be the best or the brightest, instead we live solely for Him. Hunger for His presence is our training and healing ground. We need to be skillful in His Word to defeat our adversary and speak life to others. And our love for everyone is our badge of courage. For if we are fully engaged in His wondrous love – knowing He will take care of our every need – we have no fear that when we give ourselves or our resources away, He will replenish us to overflowing.
All I can say is, sign me up, Lord.
