Luke 12:6-7 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.
Greetings in Christ Jesus, Fellow Soldiers.
I have seen many a soldier in our unit year for life at his/her sister post. Somehow, even in this barrent landscape, the grass always seems greener at the post you're not at. At one post, people work much longer hours. At the other post, people are constantly outside the wire. Which one is better? Which one is worse?
Ultimately, we should not to our circumstances are those of our brothers/sisters in arms to determine our present well being. It doesn't matter whether your post offers shade or a larger DFAC--if you are in Christ, you are sustained by Christ--"even the hairs of your head are all numbered." Nothing will snatch you from His hand (John 10), and if you have been given Christ, how will you not also be given all things? (Rom. 8)
God graciously and tenderly cared for me at my prior post and at my present post. And if God is for us in Christ Jesus, who cares how we fare in relation to other people?
