During India’s mutiny against Great Britain 1857-58, British soldiers were camped outside the city of Delhi when the commander gave the order for his men to attack the city. Medics began to move among the troops to determine who among them was fit for battle.
A young soldier lay wounded and as the medic looked at him, he pled, “Sir, please don’t declare me unfit for battle. It’s just a fever and the sound of the bugle will make me well.”
If you listen carefully you can hear God’s bugle call to action right now. He is calling us to do the most important things in life. Things like coming to Christ, loving your family, changing your life. Whatever you ought to do, do today. It’s the only day you have.
