A Lucado Lesson

So I’m just about halfway through a book Joe bought me for Christmas:

one a day | momentos for thought

Today I read the entire excerpt and felt like I needed to share it with the world.

This is from June 29, and it’s titled, A Soft Tap at the Door:

But be holy in all you do,
just as God, the One who called you, is holy.

~ 1 Pe 1:15

I have something against the lying voices that noise our world. You’ve heard them. They tell you to swap your integrity for a new sale. To barter your convictions for an easy deal. To exchange your devotion for a quick thrill.

            They whisper. They woo. They taunt. They tantalize. They flirt. They flatter. “Go ahead, it’s OK.” “Don’t worry, no one will know.”

            The world rams at your door; Jesus taps at your door. The voices scream for your allegiance; Jesus softly and tenderly requests it. The world promises flashy pleasure; Jesus promises a quiet dinner… with God.

            Which voice do you hear?

                                                                        ~ In the Eye of the Storm

Somethin’ to think about, right?

Amen. Amen.
