Over four decades ago, I gave my life to Christ, but did I really dedicate my whole life to him? A lot of what I do in my life is for my own pleasure. I spend endless hours reading books that I enjoy or watching TV shows that I have on my DVR. As I read this Scripture on Saturday, it has made me reflect on the hours that I have spent doing things that do not matter for the kingdom of God.

I have not been totally asleep, just dozing instead of fully awake and aware of my responsibilities to God. After all, He sent His Son to die for me, so the least I can do is follow His instructions for how I am to be a witness for Him. I don’t go out on street corners. I don’t greet people at the local Wal-Mart with gospel tracts. I am trying to show people how Jesus would have us live, but sometimes I fail. Don’t we all? This Scripture spoke to me because Jesus will return soon. I believe that with all of my heart and I want others to know that salvation is as close to us as our next prayer. Our prayers can and should be for others who need the Lord. We also need to follow up our prayers with actions. We want to be doing the Lord’s work while we wait for His return. That is what I took away from this verse. What insight do you get from this passage? Blessings for a good week!

I have missed sharing scripture with everyone, and I’m glad to be back to my regular routine. I’m a little later today than usual because I went to my doctor today. Believe it or not, I injured myself by sitting in the car on our trip! I have an inflamed tailbone…so all prayers will be appreciated, (after you finish chuckling, of course)! am taking steroids since I can’t take painkillers and I have to sit on a special pillow. It’s a good thing that we have so many parts! Mine keep breaking down. Fortunately, I know the Creator and I’m depending on Him to take care of me until His return.
