Suppose the Navy in the Second World War had forgotten to show up to support the landing troops at D Day.
Suppose Wellington had forgotten to show up at Waterloo.
Suppose Martin Luther had meant to get his 95 Thesis written but was continually forgetting or putting off the task or………
The forgetters are bad…
The half forgetter are worse…
The professional procrastinators are………….
During that same Second World War a mother was asked if her son was stationed in the Aleutian Islands.
She answered, “I’m not sure, but I think he is in the Illusions.”
He wasn’t but too many folk are…
Under the illusion that it doesn’t make that much difference if they don’t back up their talk with walk.
There is a definition that is a mouthful but that does not mean it is not worthy of our latching on to it “Christian Discipleship.”
The word “walk” appears 212 times in the Bible and that should tell us something.
It isn’t that there isn’t plenty of scripture to teach us and remind us…“Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” — Romans 12:1-2
An elderly Scottish woman was walking through the countryside.
Each time she came to a crossroads she would toss a stick high into the air.
Whichever way the stick came down was the direction she went. At one intersection, however, an old man saw her toss her stick into the air not once, not twice, but three times before resuming her
journey.
The old man was more than curious. “Why are you throwing your stick like that?” he asked.
She replied, “I’m letting God direct my journey by using this here stick.”
“Then why did you throw it three times?” asked the old man.
“Because,” she said, “the first two times He was pointing me in the wrong direction.”
He talked a lot about a new government he wanted to form and how he wanted that government to be rooted in Christianity.
He not only spoke with special eloquence. He passed out pious stories to the press and in particular to church papers. He carried a tattered Bible and made sure everyone saw him with it many times.
The number who saw him as a man of God grew…indeed many argued he was a man SENT BY GOD.
He could talk the talk magnificently and then he walked the walk but it was not the walk he had talked.
His name was Adolph Hitler.
We must remember what we say and live our lives that way. It is that simple but then it is not that simple at all…unless…we remember these words from Ephesians…
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” . Ephesians 2.10
