What if we spent more time reading the Bible than we did watching TV? What if we gave the guy on the corner a meal and skipped our Grande Non-Fat Skinny Latte? What if we spoke of Jesus more than we spoke of sports, news, etc? What if we were more excited to enter the house of God than we are to see a certain movie or go to a concert? What if we were purposeful about spending as much time with our families as we do with our careers? What if we prayed more than… well, anything? WHAT IF?
Friends, I’m preaching to the choir here, we all struggle to put first things first… in which case for us, the first thing is Christ? The only thing is Christ! When the word tells us of God’s infinite patience, His desire to see all come to repentance, is it possible that He needs to have more patience with those who are saved than those who aren’t… because we are neglecting to do our jobs?
Think about the above questions today and challenge yourself to make a small step today, the next day, and the next day… let’s be purposeful about living our salvation until the whole world hears.
