"Two Bits"
"Two bits used to mean 25 cents> now its one bit for the horse and the other bit for the rider"
Givin my 25 cents worth:
I read Streams in the Desert Today,
"Thou couldst have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above" (John 19:11).
Nothing that is not God's will can come into the life of one who trusts and obeys God. This fact is enough to make our life one of ceaseless thanksgiving and joy. For "God's will is the one hopeful, glad, and glorious thing in the world"; and it is working in the omnipotence for us all the time, with nothing to prevent it if we are surrendered and believing.
After reading that I kept thinking about a friend of mine who kept telling me about a situation where a woman shot a guy who broke in a home. Nice kill, clean shot, burglar got what he had coming to him:
ETERNAL DAMNATION.
This is as far as we can tell. Afterall the guy made his bed he had to die in it.
Of course I think about a murderer who shot a guard, shot a judge, broke out and took a woman hostage. The foolish woman takes the nut to her home and starts witnessing to him. She tells him about God. She talks to him about Jesus. She had to be a Christian because she even told him she didn't have all together or was perfect she was just trying. She even mentioned people will live forever and got to heaven or hell.
Some people just don't have a lick of sense, she should have been packin leather and shot the guy when he attacked her:
Imagine that.
Story made national news. The guy turned himself in. He will likely die, but till then he heard some "defenseless" woman witness to him.
Now who does something stupid like that?
Someone who trusted in the Lord that "this thing" was from Him.
How do you look at life? Fearful? need eternal security? Need temporary security? Need some security?
Are you afraid of the Big Bad Wolf (Dying?)
For a Christian death is the least of our worries. Doing God's Will is.
Since WE KNOW THIS THING IS FROM GOD.
What will you do?
