Scripture Matthew 23 ; Matthew 24 ; Matthew 25: 46 "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
Observation: This sounds so final and unforgiving on the surface.
Application: The thing I have to cosider this Thanksgiving morning is whether I have fed the hungry, I have invited the stranger, clothed the naked, looked after the sick and those in prison. In my own mind I believe I have done most of that in one way or the other, but my delima is whether I have been found faithful in these works so that I may not "..go away to eternal punishment,..."
I past two beggars yesterday on my way without offering any assistance to their need, and my excuse was I had no change less than a $10, what should my response have been? Could I have parted with the ten spot, probably but I didn't.
Today I am wondering what I missed by not letting go of that I deemed more important than giving.
Prayer: LORD, I pray today that I would give rather than hold back, you gave so much for me and I should pass it on in whateve way I can, LORD help me be more like you. Love Stephen
Yieldedness: I will do my best not to hold to what is turing to rust.
