Thought for Meditation
On the one hand,
a casual and compromised Christian life is rooted in service to the Lord
that is motivated according to a spirit of convenience.
On the other hand,
a committed and consecrated Christian life is rooted in service to the Lord
that is motivated according to a spirit of conviction.

2 Timothy 2:3-5
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life;
that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize?
So run, that ye may obtain.
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things.
Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
but I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection:
lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
Luke 9:23-24
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it:
but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
Romans 12:1-2
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable,
always abounding in the work of the Lord,
forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
