– Deuteronomy 30:14
Just do it!
Nike trademarked this phrase which became part of a huge marketing and advertising campaign but God coined the phrase thousands of years before Nike and the directive has been in force ever since.
The Word is right here and right now, it's as near as the tongue in your mouth and the heart in your chest – Wow – that's pretty close don't you think? Whether we choose to believe it or not, the Word, God's Word, His Son, Jesus Christ, lives within each one of us. His ways, His ideals, His heart, His power to love, and to forgive, and to serve are what we are made of. So why do we struggle with being "Christians?"
We have to learn how to let more of Christ out, which as a result, will push more of the world out of our lives. We have to be willing to show off who we really are instead of trying to hide so that we "fit" or "blend" in with society. We have to live the life that we were called to and designed for in order for Christ to be revealed in real, every day, practical, at-work, at-school, at-church ways. We have to Just do it!
So how about it? How about joining me today and letting Christ out of your mouth and out of your heart? It might just freak some folks out around you . . . but then again, it might just draw some folks around you in . . . in to the fold – the family – the saving grace of Christ Himself.
Be a Christian . . . Just Do It!
Prayer
Lord, thank You for reminding us that You are so very close. Thank You for the practical encouragement. Thank You for making Yourself so available to us. Forgive us for neglecting to share You with others. Help us to be out there – sharing, and giving, and doing, everything You are and everything You have done for us.
Have a blessed day everyone!
– Richard
