Engaged in warfare?

What are we engaged in? Life, family, our jobs? 2Tim 2:2 says:" No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier."
Part of this question goes back to who's we are. If we do not recognize that we are not our own anymore, but that we've been bought with a price, and now we are Christ's, (1 Cor 6: 19 & 20) then we can not see who enlisted us, who controls us. and who should be making all the decisions that we now make.
I woke up this morning and was thinking about the local churches, and how I have been asked to speak at many churches, but not the two closest to us. The phrase jumped into my head "They do not easily give up their pulpits." Then I thought; but it's God's pulpit. Then I imagined one of the pastors saying but He (God) gave it to me, so now it's mine and I am responsible." But the scriptures teach us that the earth and all that is in it is the Lord's (Psalm 24:1) ...so He does not give, but let's us use, put's us in positions where He can use us, we own nothing.
Our wives, not ours. Kids, not ours. Nothing is ours, we merely are to be obedient to what He says to do with how He places us.
So back to what we're engaged in: If God has enlisted us, just like in our military, we are now owned by Him. We don't get up when we want, eat what we want, even wear what we want. As a soldier we are commissioned to do the will of He who enlisted us, in every capacity. And we need His constant direction of where we should be stationed, where we should be at every minute. There is a war going on, we are being recruited by other forces, we do not have time to be engaged in anything else around us, but only that which He allows to, or assigns us too. Any other commitment we make, outside of His plans, could be life threatening to us, and those around us. We NEED to be where He places us, doing what He commissioned us to, otherwise we are in great jeopardy.
So are we here to please ourselves, or the One that enlisted us? What are we living for?
"Lord forgive me for going on my own missions, not acting as if You were the one who enlisted me, forgive me for attended to my own needs desires, and other things, above Yours, I want Your will, not my own, help me to understand the difference, in Jesus Name, the name above every other name. Amen."
