Ranger Code

Along time ago I use to recite the following words "With God's help, I will do my best to serve God, my church, and my fellowman; to live by the Ranger Code; to make the Golden Rule my daily rule." Little did I know that I was planting a seed that would grow and God would bring to my attention years later.

I grew up in church and every Wednesday I would  participate in Royal Rangers. (those of you who are AG know what I'm talking about) But if you do not basically it's a lot like boy scouts that puts emphasis on God!

Lately, God has been really showing me areas in my life that need a lot of work. It started with listening to a Joyce Meyer podcast and she was talking about how we complain how God doesn't move in our lives but we sit on the couch 40 lbs overweight and wonder where God is at?!?!?!?

Those words really hit me, wow! God wants to move in my life but maybe I am not fully giving every area of my life over to Him! At that he started reminding me of the Ranger Code. To be physically, spiritually, mentally alert! He started revealing to me how my life isn't balanced.

He started showing me that I need to be physically, spiritually, and mentally fit!! And all this time I thought that Royal Rangers was just a part of my life for that period when I was a boy. I never thought that I would be revisiting or that I would have remembered the Ranger Code, but I am glad that I participated in Royal Rangers! I am glad that that seed was planted!

And am I excited to see how God is going to stretch and mold me into a balanced life and an even more intimate relationship with Him!
