OUR DAILY TASK

November 03, 2020

We are routine people. Take a mental survey: you operate out of amazing consistency in many ways. You probably shower and dress yourself the same every day. You put on your clothes with the same pattern.

In fact, there is a part of your brain that is completely devoted to storing and facilitating these habits. Studies show that if this brain activity didn't function, you would be in real trouble, because there are thousands of things you do routinely without thinking. If you had to make every decision consciously about the routine work of your hands, for instance, you would be paralyzed into inactivity.

A MISSING COMPONENT

There is a daily routine that is missing in most believer's life. It has not yet been programmed into the mind's computer because we have not done it enough to let it become habitual. The tragedy is, for the Christian and unbeliever alike, it is the most important habit of our lives.

We do not intentionally and habitually share Christ with everyone we meet, every day.

God has so designed His work that people CANNOT and WILL NOT be saved eternally if the gospel is not verbally shared, and then united by faith in their hearts.

How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? (Romans 10:16)

Read that verse again and meditate upon it. It is written for you. It is YOUR MOST IMPORTANT DAILY TASK!

The "believing" happens in the hearer's heart, made possible by the grace of God. But the verbal testimony of the gospel is the believing Christian’s part, made possible by God's graceful help and their surrender to be used daily by Him.

THE LAW OF THE HARVEST

Remember this: the more the gospel is shared, in the simple, humble submission to the Spirit's prompting and power, the more people will hear. And the more people hear, the more people will believe. It's as simple as that.

But they will not believe it they do not hear. And delivering the message is our most important daily task.

And, that includes today.

Father, thank You that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes. Convince me daily, Lord, that there is nothing more important for me to do on any given day. Let it become the habitual routine of my life to look for gospel opportunities and to be unashamed of the gospel. Let me share Your glorious truth with someone today!

HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT?

Wisdom is a product of insatiable desire. Solomon, who at least at one point was the wisest man on the face of the earth, gave instructions to his son and all of us about how to gain wisdom. A foolish man could care less about this type of instruction because he thinks he is wise on his own. He does not know that wisdom is something that must be gained. And it is gained only when it is sought with aggressive tenacity.

A PROPER VIEW OF MYSELF

The Lord honors those who see themselves rightly. He promises to bless a man who lives in wise dependency before Him. As he looks to the Lord, God provides him with all he needs, and the world sees what a man with a correct opinion of himself is like.

THE ONE THING THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING

June 06, 2023

Our job is to remember who He is, who we are, and understand the difference. And then live every common day looking to and relying on the One who is all in all. Ten times in John 15 Jesus uses the word “abide,” which is to remain in a stable, fixed position with Him.
