But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. James 1:22
Have you ever sit back and considered all of the ways God was trying to get your attention before you asked Him to save you? I often wonder how many ways He tried to get my attention before I finally surrendered. Here is just one of the many ways I believe He used with me.
Consider with me the Boy Scout Oath or Promise:
On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
Did you catch that? "I will do my best to do my duty to God..." First duty to God-- "I will do my best" Our best is found when we Repent and be saved! After that, we know how to love, serve, and follow!
Second duty-- serve your fellow man by serving Jesus!
D.L Moody said, “The measure of a man is not the number of his servants, but the number of people he serves.”
As I often sit and think about how good God has been to me I am amazed at His faithfulness to me! It reminds me of how much I need to be faithful to Him and serve others.
Go serve Him today by GETTING UP, GETTING READY and GOING TO CHURCH!
