“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Tuesday; June 24, 2008

                                     

       Are we doing the most we can do with our lives?  We work long hours and do a lot with what we have been given; but, are we stretching ourselves as far as we should go?  Often, it’s easy to settle for what’s comfortable; but, does that make us better?  What could we do if we really challenged ourselves?

          Centuries ago, when God called the prophet Isaiah to work with the people of Israel, He issued an interesting challenge by saying, “It is too small a thing that you should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also make You a light of the nations so that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”.  (Isaiah 49:6)  In other words, Isaiah was doing a good work; but, God had bigger plans for him.

          Most of us are doing something good; but, is it too small a thing for us?  Is there a bigger challenge we should pursue?  The question isn’t “Are we content with where we are and what we’re doing?”, the real concern should be, “Is God?”.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
