Seeds From The Sower
THE HALF-BRIDGE Not far from where I was born there is a “half-bridge.” It spans the Ohio-Indiana state line. One half of the bridge is in Ohio and the other half is in Indiana. I have known many people who live “half-way” lives. Whatever they do is “half-hearted” because they only make “half-way” commitments and their lives are only “half-way” successful. To achieve anything worthwhile in life requires whole-hearted commitment. There are many Christians who live half-way lives. We can find them in every activity of the church. They worship and work and come and go. We can count them, but can not count on them.Scripture says, “You must love the Lord with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind.” All is not a half-way word. It is an all the way word. It includes everything. It means commitment, not complacency. Let’s make this a day of new beginnings and leave our “half-way” lives behind us. Let’s surrender everything we are and everything we have to our Lord and Savior. Prayer: Lord, I want this to be a day of decision. From now on I want to be completely committed to serving You with all that I am and have. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. Scripture for Today: Mark 12:28-34 |
