Reflect
In this episode, Liz participates in an X-Monsters adventure. He is reminded about how to protect himself from danger. Soldiers endure a lot of hardship—they’re far away from friends and family, they face danger every day, they live without the conveniences of home, and they get hurt and even die. How do they endure? They endure by remembering their purpose, by being alert, by using their training, by watching out for each other, and by giving dedicated effort to the cause.
Here are some lessons we can learn:
1. We remember that we are serving God.
2. We stay alert to our surroundings and to our weaknesses.
3. We remember and use what we've learned from the Bible.
4. We care for each other.
5. We dedicate our lives to the cause of Christ and His kingdom.
