Grace for your spirit October 26, 2012

Grace for your spirit
As a door turns on its hinges, so does a sluggard in his bed.  Proverbs 26:14

I have eight doors and sixteen hinges in my house.  The all turn several times everyday, but so far they haven't gone anywhere.  If our total effort is turning over in our beds, we are going nowhere as well.  A dad wanted his son to get off the sofa and get a job.  "Why?" asked the son.  Dad replied, "To get a job, make some money,and save for retirement, so someday you can sit and relax, enjoying yourself.". The son replied, "That's what I'm doing now!"  Is that the life we want?  Do we want to live on the work of others all our life?   We were created in Christ Jesus for good works.  It is time for us to get out of bed and be a faithful worker in the vineyard of the Lord.
