Faithfulness.

The key to surviving and shining in National Service is very simple;

Be faithful.

"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' Matthew 25:21

Many say that army is the time for you to "keng", meaning to escape as much work as you can. Okie, generally I would try to too, but when given responsibilities, we must act rightly. For when we are faithful in the little things of life, we honour Him, and God will grant more.

Even though sometimes you may suffer just that little bit, or loss out on the benefits. Be faithful.

"Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe." Phil 2:14-15
