R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y ! Galatians 6:4,5
Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
Responsibility! Does anyone know what this means anymore? Anyone out there? Hello?
What am I talking about? You say you are responsible, well good, but look around. How many more people need to have their hearts pricked by the salvation offering Jesus lays before us, then follow his teachings.
A 12 year girl jumped to her death because of bullying by two other 12 and 14 year old girls. The 14 year old is not sad, very cold; her parents deny she had anything to do with it. Responsibility?
A thirty something year old woman has ten children, and her recent boy friend just got arrested and put in jail. She is on the news talking about the government shut down and is saying someone needs to help with all these kids, someone needs to step up and be responsible. Huh? How about she step up!?!? Responsibility?
The government shut down for 16 days - boo to the politicians - and boo staunch party lines. What happened to: "WE THE PEOPLE?" Why are we not a concern. The politicians did not lose a paycheck. Debt level? Can you keep borrowing and just raise your debt ceiling? Responsibility?
When will we be responsible? We can run, we can try to hide, we can put our heads in the sand (and that leaves a large area for a target), or step up to the plate. Jonah ran from where God wanted him to go. And how did that turn out for Jonah? Hmmmm!
Galatians 6: 4, 5 4 Let everyone be sure that he is doing his very best, for then he will have the personal satisfaction of work well done and won’t need to compare himself with someone else. 5 Each of us must bear some faults and burdens of his own. For none of us is perfect!
What do you think Paul is telling us here? Jesus, our saviour, his (Jesus') example should inspire us to do our very best. Even if we fall short, Jesus loves us, and encourages us to get back up and strive once again to do our best. Are you: doing your best? for Christ? for family? for job?
R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y !!
Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
