FOOTING THE BILLS

Luke 14:25-35

Everything worthwhile costs. And you can tell its worth by how much it cost—somebody. It cost God much to give his only Son! It cost Jesus both reputation and life to save us. He saved others, but he couldn’t save himself from the awful cost of saving us. It costs to sin. Selfishness is awfully costly. And it costs to follow Jesus, really, truly, fully. But it’s worth all it costs, and immensely more.

Matthew 7:8  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

PIPE-LINE PARTNERS

John 15:15-27

The Holy Spirit would bear witness of Jesus. “And ye also shall bear witness,” Jesus said. They added their bit. They could do nothing without the Holy Spirit. And, reverently let us say it, the Spirit could not do his work without them. They must let him use them as he needed. They became the pipe-line through which the water of life flowed. Are you an “also”? Are you adding your bit—your life? It is needed. That’s the plan.

Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

KNEE POWER FOR THE DAILY JOB

Luke 6:12-16

He picked them out on his knees. Slowly, thoughtfully, through the night, he sifted back and forth, taking account of weaknesses and drawbacks, till at last the list of twelve men stood clear. A great night’s work, that, getting fishermen ready to be apostles. No wonder Peter came back, and John’s fire burned out in love. That night’s knee work did it. Nothing human can resist quiet, steady, confident knee work. Try it on your daily job.

James 1:5   If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

HAVE YOU VOLUNTEERED?

Mark 3:13-19

Jesus is looking for men. He needs men. He uses men. He chooses the men he uses. The qualification he looks for is willingness, strong, earnest, intelligent willingness, to do what he wants done. He takes such men into habitual companionship with himself. So they catch fire with his passion, learn his purpose and plans, are filled with his power, know the music of his peace, and gladly sacrifice, if need be. May wc not fail Jesus!

Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

THOUGHTFUL PREPAREDNESS

Exodus 16:21-30

Thinking ahead is common with thoughtful people. The housewife “sets the sponge” the night before. The engineer “oils up” before train-time. Even the squirrel stores away nuts for winter, and the dog’ll bury a bone against hungry-time. Nothing ever happens: whatever good comes has been thought out by somebody. Let us plan ahead thoughtfully, sensibly, for God’s day. It’ll make the day more restful and sweeter, and put a hallowing touch on all the weekdays, too.
