Os Faith
By GEORGE WESTBROOK
S-T-L
Here it is near the close of
another year. It will not be
long before the day set apart to
remember the virgin birth of
Christ, and then it will be only
a matter of a few days before
the beginning of another year.
For sure, it is now time to
S — T — L. No question about
it, it is a need, just do some
checking and see do not you
agree.
During the month of
December most will be re
minded in some way or an
other, throughout our nation,
of the shepherds and wise men.
They, along with others, had
something in common that
they did. What? You will see
what is referred to soon.
It is sad that people get so
busy with shopping, visiting,
eating, and attending parties
that even the regular services of
the churches are affected. Why,
“Christmas” comes on Sunday
this year, and many think
services should be cancelled so
that they can observe the
holiday. Perhaps they have for
gotten some very important
things. Yes, attendance at the
churches will be affected. In
many cases, giving will be to
everyone except the Lord.
Concerning devotion and dedi
cation, how does it seem to
you? Does it seem to be less or
more? You know, devotion
and dedication unto the Lord.
Repeating, it is time to
S — T — L. It is needed.
A portion of a verse in
Hosea states: “. . . break up
your fallow ground: for it is
time to seek the Lord...”
The wise men and the shep
herds sought the Lord.
S-T-L stands for Seek The
Lord in this article. Isaiah
55:6-9 is clear. Notice it briefly
and more closely.
The first word to notice is
“seek”. What? Pursue! Seek!
Seek requires action, and the
action is to be directed toward
a certain goal.
The next word to notice is
“ye”. Who? Personal! You!
The action to be taken is to be
taken by each person.
Notice the words: “the
Lord”. Who? The person! The
Lord! The one who is your
maker. Seek ye the Lord.
Now, notice the words:
“while he may be found . ..
while he is near”. When?
Promptly! Now! There is no
definite promise of tomorrow.
Look at the words: “let the
wicked forsake his way, and
