FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK
SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM
"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all
these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33
If you do not believe that God is the Creator, Sustainer, and
Lord, you will have trouble trusting Him enough to obey
Him when it comes to taking risks that jeopardize your com-
fort, your family, or your life. I don't think we truly believe
until we have risked greatly and God has worked for us.
Faith that we maintain while sitting in a chair without any
danger or vulnerability is not biblical faith at all. Biblical
faith emerges when we take a risk and realize that if we do
not receive divine help, we will be embarrassed.
Dr. E.A. Seamands was a missionary in India. One day a
Hindu merchant who had decided to become a Christian
came to him and told him that he wanted to be baptized.
"Good," said Dr. Seamands. "We will baptize you in the
pool in front of your business on market day."
The Hindu said, "If you do that, everybody in the country-
side will know that I have become a Christian. What will
that do to my business?"
"You don't want to hide the fact that you have become a
Christian, do you? The best thing in the world is to let
everybody know it all at once. It is much less painful that
way." So the Hindu merchant, with fear and trembling,
was baptized that day in front of his business establishment.
The only way you are going to take a risk is if you believe
that God is the Creator, Sustainer, and Lord. Can you truly
say, "Whether you take care of me or not, I am going to
do what you ask".
From "This Day With The Master", by Dennis F. Kinlaw
