Battle Field.

Every once in a while I get annoyed at the fact that people aren't jumping up and down and praising God when I am. But I then check my heart in the matter because I know there are very many times that everyone else is jumping around and I'm sitting and journaling, knowing that's where I concentrate best. One of the brothers in my class was asking peoples thoughts on that. He is the type of person to be jumping around and waring for his family. And it just got me thinking...

In war, there are so many different roles to play as soldiers. There is a group that is holding down the front lines with their shields and swords, wrecking everything in their path! :D Then there are the snipers... calmly sitting up on the roofs of buildings, watching for hours on end with such a dedicated concentration. They are the ones that will notice an enemy trying to sneak in before anybody else will. Then there are the intellectuals who are pouring hours upon hours of their life into coming up with strategies, researching what works, what won't work, how to improve. Not to mention the nurses that nobody seems to remember. They are the ones taking care of, showering and feeding the wounded soldiers. 

There are so many more roles than just that. But those are the ones off the top of my head, and to be honest there isn't much that I know about all that warfare. But it is just like that in the "war" that believers are in. We all have our different roles. Sometimes we are the ones jumping up and down worshipping God. Sometimes we are in the back, journaling and growing. Sometimes we are praying intercessory prayers. We all have our different roles.
