Chewing gum only proves that you can have motion without progress. – Sparks
Though king Darius recognized and decreed the God of Daniel as worthy of reverence, he himself never served him. WOW!
Nike has a $150 basketball shoe. It won’t make you run any faster, jump any higher, or make any more baskets – but it will look good on your feet and that should make you feel better. Often people are just like that in their commitment to God. Many of us sometimes just go through the motions, fooling only ourselves. God is not deceived, for remember “he looks on the heart” and “knows the thoughts and intents of man.” So it is not our keeping of ‘duty’ that stirs God, but our desire for relationship with Him. Out of this communion spring all the details of life’s actions. Our steps truly become ordered, our words truly become seasoned, our time truly invested in others for the sake of the kingdom, and our labor is not in vain. Are you game?
Until tomorrow…..
Pastor Botts
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” – Luke 6:46
