Do It!
"Every person that hears these things I say and obeys is like
a wise man. The wise man built his house on rock. It rained
hard and the water rose. The winds blew and hit that house.
But the house did not fall, because the house was built on
rock. But the person that hears the things I teach and does
not obey those things is like a foolish man. The foolish man
built his house on sand. It rained hard, the water rose, and
the winds blew and hit that house. And the house fell with a
loud noise."
-- Matthew 7:24-27 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
While Nike® may have the trademark on the phrase "Just Do It!" Jesus
certainly said it enough to claim original authorship of the concept.
He is adamant: his teaching is not for philosophical enlightenment, nor
for intellectual musings, nor just for Bible class discussions. The
goal of his teaching is to help people understand what the will of God
is and then do it.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, help me today put into my daily routine one aspect of Christian
growth that was not there yesterday. I want to do your will and honor
you for the great love you have for me and for all that you have
already done for me. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray.
Amen.
