I am putting it out there that I am refusing to be called a child of pharoah. (see Hebrews 11) Whenever we speak of rejecting the status quo and not becoming like the world, we often consider things like - no drinking, smoking, or hanging out with bank robbers. But here is a thought, how about, choosing kindness when your sense of justice wants vindication or saying 'sorry' when its their fault.
In the words of an old australian bush song the villian says to the troopers, "I'll die but I won't surrender" So many of us are like that. We would rather die, (physically and spiritually) than to surrender to those God has called us to love. Jesus showed us how to surrender to the will of God, how to lay our lives down for His purposes. I am not advocating being a door mat but do you really need to be saving your life so often and making sure that you are one up on everybody.
Use these final weeks of the year to practise losing your life. Never compromise on what He has called you to do... That is a good fight and you must press on to take a hold of that for which Christ took hold of you... However we lose our peace of mind over far less important things, so go on ... let it go!
