GOOD CONDUCT MEDAL!
James 3:13 – Devotional
James 3:13
“Let the one who is wise and understanding among you demonstrate it by good conduct accomplished with meekness and wisdom.”
In the military there are medals awarded for a variety of reasons. If you were to observe the dress uniform of a seasoned veteran, you would see row after row of medals for various accomplishments. One of these medals is the Good Conduct Medal. It is awarded to all who stay out of trouble for an entire year. Yeah!
I know it is no big deal, but for many that first medal was one of the first positive affirmations they had ever received. Let’s face it; the world tends to be harsh and unfeeling leaving many feeling like outsiders.
The Lord has given those who have trusted Him for salvation the most glorious good conduct medal. It is not because of what we have done or will do for Him, but what He has provided for us. Salvation, full and free!
The eternal salvation which we have in Christ is offered freely to us, but it cost Jesus His sinless life. He who knew no sin took upon Himself our sin and paid the price that we may receive His GOOD CONDUCT MEDAL! Be sure to wear it with honor!
Blessings dear hearts walk with God today and become a blessing!
