      Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. EPHESIANS 6:13 That he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

      2 TIMOTHY 2:4

      SOLDIERS of Christ, arise,
      And put your armor on,
      Strong in the strength which God supplies
      Through His eternal Son.

      CHARLES WESLEY

      WHITHER goest thou?
      Where is thy soul?
      Is it in peace?
      If troubled, why?
      How art thou fulfilling the duties of thy position?
      What are they?
      What effort hast thou made to amend thy disposition, and conquer thy sins?
      Hast thou been faithful to the light God has given thee?
      What means shouldst thou use, especially with regard to thy most besetting sin or temptation?
      Hast thou fought against it?
      Hast thou thought about it at all?
      What hast thou done with the circumstances of the last month?
      Have they wrought God's work in thee?
