Morning Devotional:
I had to take the class again… In Minnesota, if you are in the process of getting your drivers license, you have to get 50 hours of drive time behind the wheel. Now… if your parent signs up and attends a three hour class, they will knock ten hours off of your driving time. I did this for my daughter Glory. Then Malachi rolls around and I inquire , do I have to take the class, every time I have a child learning to drive. Because that would mean that I have to do it 5 MORE Times. The answer I got back was yes, I have to do it every time. So great, I go to the Class, where the instructor informed me that, no, just give them my certificate next time, and I should be good, BUT, she wanted me to stay this time. Fine, I sat through it. Now the funny thing is it was surprising just how much I had forgotten from the LAST time I had taken it. Here I was all confident that I knew everything, but I forgot a simple facts about us humans. We leak. We need to refresh our knowledge often. This is true even of scripture passages and Biblical concepts we have heard over and over and over again. Don’t get complacent, don’t get over confident, or you might find yourself in a place, struggling to share Jesus, but you just can’t remember a concept that you “know” but don’t remember where it is from or how to say it.
Joshua 1:8
8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.
1 Peter 3:15
15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
We can do this. Don’t get overconfident. Let’s make an effort to keep our knowledge of salvation fresh, so we are ready to give it to those who need it.
