“Chosen to be soldiers, in an alien land, chosen, called, and faithful, for our Captain’s band, in the service royal, let us not grow cold; let us be right loyal, noble, true and bold. Master, Thou will keep us, by Thy grace divine, always on the Lord’s side, Savior, always Thine!” Thank you, Lord!

I don’t know about you, but I am on the Lord’s side today and always. We are all aliens in foreign lands, but Citizens of Heaven, and we need to hold on to that, because no matter our nationality, God has chosen us to be soldiers, we were chosen, called, and faithful, for our Captain’s band. We are earthly citizens where our rights and protections are daily threatened, but under God, our rights and protections are secure.  We may be earthly citizens, but those who are called and chosen by God are not conformed to the ways of the world we live in but are instead transformed by the renewing of our minds. We are not easily swayed; we stand firm on the promises of God. He will keep us by his Grace, if we stay on his side. I am on the Lord’s side, how about you?
