five15 BIG MEETING Recap
January 8, 2007 7:34 am
Last night, we had part 5 of our Drivers Ed Series, “Road Work Ahead: Proverbs on Work.”
We looked at Proverbs 6:6-11, and saw that God is telling us two things:
- Go and look.
- Go and do.
In particular, there are a couple lessons for us to learn from the ant. First, the ticket to not being labelled a sluggard is to take initiative. To go through life eyes wide open, doing what needs to be done. Even if it’s not convenient. Even if no one sees you do it.
Second, God is calling us to make wise use of our time. Most young people have more time right now than they will ever have. So what are you doing with your time? Are you being wise, doing the right thing at the right time. Why is it bad to fritter our time away on the wrong things? Keep reading the verses…
Solomon also warns us that sleep can be dangerous. Sleep is healthy, necessary, and a gift from God. But inordindate love for sleep can lead to destruction. These verses explain that you can waste your life in small bits if you aren’t careful.
God is calling us, through these verses, to work hard for Christ. Working hard is hard work, but working hard as a Christian is working hard for Christ. Check out Colossians 3:23-24 to understand this better…
More to come.
One Response to “five15 BIG MEETING Recap”
Thanks for serving us on Saturday. It was helpful to see how to avoid being a sluggard but how instead to be like an “ant.” Thank you paticularly for pointing us to our motivation for being hard-working: that we should do everything as if unto Jesus our Lord.
