Whenever you are wondering what to do with yourself...
I like to use a big
tablespoon when I eat. The other night, I was breaking up ice with one of my
favorite tablespoons. Later on, I was thinking about scooping out some cat food
with that same spoon. I paused. I know I can wash it...I mean, right? I know I
can. But, I didn't scoop the cat food. I just shook the little pouch till it
all came out.
Would I scrape mud off my
boots with that spoon?
Would I shovel dirt with
it?
Will I stir paint with
that spoon?
Would I use it to get my
phone out of the toilet?
How far is too far with
something that is set aside for something else?
Believers, what are we
set apart for? What do we do with our members? What is going too far?
When we surrendered to
God, He set us apart. Discover what for. Surely, it's not for common use.
Surely, it's not for base living.
Paul said, "I am
speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you
once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to
more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness
leading to sanctification." (Romans 6:19 ESV)
Meditate these things
with me, brothers and sisters.
