I am not a big gamer! I am just to busy with two jobs, planning a wedding and other daily activities! When I do play it is for the most part with friends! The game that I play the most would be Call of Duty!
Basically it is a man game! You shoot guns, blow up things, and win the war! It is everything that young boys pretend to be when they are young. While the girls are playing house, the boys are out winning wars! At least in our heads!
That sense of heroic activities makes males feel like they are a man! We have a call of duty! This next part is to all my fellow men! What if...
What if we as men saw what our true call of duty was?
Is our true call of duty to make lots of money to get what ever we want? Is it to have the highest score on a video game? Is it to have to hottest woman we can just show off to our friends? Is it to do what ever makes us feel good? Is this all our call of duty is?
NO!
Making lots of money, having the hottest woman, doing what ever we want cause we are a man does not make you a man!
What is our true call of duty? Our true call of duty is to be a man of GOD! I am twenty-one years old! I am not saying I know what it is completely to be a man! I am still working on it! I write this to myself just as much as I do to all of you!
What does the Bible say that a man of God is! King David was considered a man after God own heart! I think that is a good place to start!
David was a warrior!
1st Samuel 17:48-51
48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. 49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell face down on the ground.David was compassionate!
David Worshiped God!
Real men with the true call of duty admit when they screw up! I know this goes against what our pride is telling us! Not only do real men admit it, they accept the consequences of their actions!

There are so many other things that we can take from the life of David! Crack open that Bible and read it! There are some sweet stories! I do not say this to beat anyone up! Everything I say is out of love! It may be harsh at times, but this world needs real men! We have to many men who think that being a man is working, or not working, paying the bills and that is it! We need Men who are on the Call of Duty that God has given them! And that is to be men after God's own heart!

50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
51 David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword.
2nd Samuel 9:7
“Don’t be afraid,” David said to him, “for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.”
It was the custom at that time when a new king comes to power the kill the family of the last king! David spared the life of Saul's grandson!David Worshiped God!
Psalms 117:1-2
1 Praise the LORD, all you nations;
extol him, all you peoples.
2 For great is his love toward us,
and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD.
1 Praise the LORD, all you nations;
extol him, all you peoples.
2 For great is his love toward us,
and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD.
I don't know when or why it happened but the man is to be the spiritual leader of the household! The man who worships God leads his family! You want to lead your family and have them respect you!? Surrender to God!
David Repented!
David Repented!
2nd Samuel 12:13-14
13 Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.”
13 Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.”
Nathan replied, “The LORD has taken away your sin. You are not going to die. 14 But because by doing this you have shown utter contempt fora]"> the LORD, the son born to you will die.”
