BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
The Boys and Girls Club of Jackson County recently took a church family trip to Washington, D.C. They are from Jones Chapel Baptist Church. Here, they
are shown with a copy of The Jackson Herald newspaper.
Always remember to put the Lord first in your life
In an online class, at times
I would send my work to the
professor at 11:55 when it was
due at midnight. I'll admit that
I do some of my best work
when I’m crunched for time,
but there was a price to pay
occasionally.
I’ve found myself in a panic
while talking to my Internet
provider. My voice was prob
ably elevated and going at 90
miles per hour, but I had to get
the work in on time. Thankful
ly, I was always able to pull
that off, but it also taught me an
important lesson.
It’s not worth it. Don’t dwell
on it; don’t make excuses. It is
important to take care of my
responsibilities in a timely man
ner. I’m sure it is much better for
my health!
In Scripture, we find many
examples of people who followed
Jesus. Some said yes immediate
ly. In John
1:43, Jesus
approached
Philip and
said, “Fol
low me.”
That’s when
Philip ran
to find
N athanael
and shared
the good
news. The
first time
Jesus saw
him he said.
“Here is an Israelite in whom
there is no deceit.” Now that
piqued Nat’s interest and shortly
thereafter, he declared, “You are
the son of God.” So almost in an
instant, Nathanael believed.
Sadly, our next example didn’t
turn out so well. In Matthew
19:16-22, we see Jesus had an
encounter with a rich young
ruler. This fellow was interested
in what he needed to do to have
eternal life. He’d kept the com
mandments since his youth, so
this sounded promising. Once
he found out that he needed to
submit everything, including his
worldly possessions, he went
away sorrowful.
Now let’s look at Felix. In
Acts 24, we read of Paul’s time
in a prison, and Felix was in
charge. In verse 24, we see
that Felix called for Paul to talk
to him and his wife, Drusilla.
Paul told the couple about faith
in Jesus. Paul talked about righ
teousness, self-control and the
upcoming judgment.
Felix let his fear get in the way.
“That’s enough for now! You
may leave. When I find it conve
nient, I will send for you,” Felix
replied. Over the next couple of
years, Felix called for Paul, but
once he left his position, he left
Paul in prison.
Felix had an opportunity to
accept the Lord, and I know
Paul’s grace and humility surely
affected his life, but he never
found the right moment to sur
render to the Lord. I’d say he pro
crastinated. He was looking for a
more convenient time. Sadly, that
time is never recorded.
How many of us procrastinate
in our service to the Lord? How
many of us wait to give our lives
to the Lord?
Just like Felix, we may be
waiting for a more convenient
time. In the busy world in which
we live, that time may never
present itself.
There are going to be work,
children, grandchildren, chores,
and hobbies that may hinder us.
Everyday life could consume
each of us.
My prayer is that we will put
our priorities in order right now.
Don’t procrastinate on service to
Almighty God. Our children will
not always be small where we
can take them to hear the gospel.
Our health may not always be
strong so that we have the energy
to get to Sunday service.
Attending church is a great
start, but let us also be reminded
that the God of Sunday needs to
be the Lord of our lives everyday.
Let us not procrastinate on read
ing the Word, praising Him, and
diligently praying for our family
and the other people God has put
into our lives.
As we ponder the life of these
men, especially Felix, may we
realize that we need to inten
tionally decide to put the Lord
first in our lives. This is a deci
sion we will never regret.
