TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 16: 13
TOPIC: KEEPING WATCH
A story is told of a very wealthy man who could not sleep one night. He strolled out of his mansion to the security man’s post only to find him fast asleep. He woke the security man up and then decided to go back to his mansion.
After about thirty minutes, he came back with a bunch of cash and threw it into the laps of the security man. He then went back to his house and came back after two hours. This time he found the security man busy counting the money and budgeting how he would spend it! When interest is high, giving attention is not difficult.
Apostle Paul, in today’s text, admonishes believers to watch (be on your guard), stand firm in the faith, be strong and courageous. Imagine that politicians were told that by being committed to God and the church, they would get votes!
People’s commitment to anything, including spiritual matters, is usually at par with the commensurate interest and benefit they derive. So, when you find your attention in the things of God dwindling, check where your interest is.
QUESTION
What is your level of interest in God and the things of the Holy Spirit?
PRAYER
Give me a desire, an interest, a hunger and a thirst after You, O God. Keep me watching and looking out for every opportunity to stand for You. Amen.
