If you can’t find five minutes, can you spare just one?

6/15– Can You Spare A Minute?

6/15–Opportunities Missed 

There was a very cautious man 

Who never laughed or played; 

He never risked, he never tried, 

He never sang or prayed. 

And when he one day passed away 

His insurance was denied; 

For since he never really lived, 

They claimed he never died!

The richest place in the world is the cemetery. It is richer than Fort Knox! There are apologies never made, Love never expressed,  songs never sung, and sermons never preached. Don’t die with your song still within you!!!

I’m not afraid of dying… only to die before I’ve ever lived!

The Power Of Obedience

“To obey is better than sacrifice.” — 1 Samuel 15:22

Obedience is not always exciting. In fact, many times it requires us to do things we would rather avoid. It may mean taking the difficult road, admitting we were wrong, forgiving someone who hurt us, or following God’s direction when we cannot see the outcome. Yet obedience remains one of the greatest demonstrations of faith.

Anyone can obey when the path is easy and the rewards are obvious. True obedience is revealed when the instructions don’t make sense, when the timing seems wrong, or when the cost appears too high. It is in those moments that we decide whether we trust God or simply trust our own understanding.

Consider Noah. He obeyed God and built an ark long before a single raindrop fell. Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave his homeland. Joshua obeyed when God instructed him to march around Jericho. In each case, obedience came before the blessing.

Obedience is often the bridge between where we are and where God wants us to be. Every act of obedience strengthens our character, deepens our faith, and positions us for greater opportunities. While delayed obedience can become disobedience, prompt obedience opens doors that hesitation can never unlock.

Today, ask yourself: Is there something God has been prompting me to do? Is there a step I’ve been delaying because of fear, doubt, or inconvenience? The greatest victories often begin with a simple act of obedience.

Don’t underestimate the power of one obedient decision. A single step taken in faith can change the direction of your life.

Today’s Challenge: Identify one thing you know you should do and do it today without delay. Trust God with the results.

Prayer: Lord, help me to obey You quickly and completely. Give me the faith to trust Your wisdom above my own understanding. Teach me to follow Your direction even when I cannot see the whole path ahead. Amen.

Remember: Obedience may not always be easy, but it is always worth it.

Story:

How many of you know that if you had your life to live over you could’ve done better? How many know that there is something else that life has for you and that is why you are here? 

You have to start monitoring your inner conversation and start talking to yourself with positive thoughts. You have to replace those old self-destructive thoughts with new positive thoughts! 

Most people are not in the arena of because they don’t want to fight or get knocked down, so they spend their entire life sitting on the sidelines. 

Discouragement is one of the main weapons of the enemy. It is one of the most used. Discouragement will catch a ride with you on the way to work. If it misses you it will be there when you get there. Then it will try to catch a ride with you on your way back home. 

Might I suggest to you that you make a list? Get a sheet of paper, preferably a lined sheet of paper. Draw a vertical line down the middle. On one side put everything good. Now, if you are not too ashamed on the other side of that vertical line put everything that is bad. I hope if you start with the good side first that you don’t ever make it to the bad side. 

They asked George Bernard Shaw if he had his life to live over who would he like to be. He said the man he never was. I don’t even know you but I know this about you that you have the ability to do more. The very fact that God woke you up this morning means that God isn’t through with you yet. 

I would read the Bible through five times but it will take five years and I’m already 60 years old. Well, how old will you be in five years if you don’t read it five times? 

Oliver Wendell Holmes said that most people go to their grave with their music still in them. 

The cemetery is richer than Fort Knox. In the cemetery are songs never sung, books never written, apologies never made and love never expressed. 

Someday Isle is a lonely place to be marooned. Millions of people are stuck on Someday I’ll do this that or the other.

Scripture:

Ecclesiastes 9:10

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

The Folly Of Getting The Last Lick

Have you ever felt the urge to get even? Someone says something hurtful, treats you unfairly, or takes advantage of your kindness, and suddenly the desire to get the last lick rises up inside you. Human nature tells us that if someone hurts us, we ought to hurt them back. But wisdom teaches a different lesson.

Many relationships have been damaged because neither person was willing to let the matter go. One harsh word led to another. One act of retaliation led to another. Before long, both sides had lost far more than either ever gained.

True strength is not found in getting even. True strength is found in self-control. It takes far more character to walk away from a fight than to continue one. It takes greater courage to forgive than to seek revenge.

When we insist on getting the last lick, we often keep old wounds alive. We replay offenses in our minds and allow bitterness to steal our joy. But when we choose to let go, we free ourselves from carrying that heavy burden.

Remember, not every battle needs to be fought. Not every criticism deserves a response. Not every wrong requires retaliation. Sometimes the greatest victory is refusing to lower yourself to the level of the offense.

Life is too short to spend it keeping score. Leave room for grace. Leave room for mercy. Leave room for God to work in situations that are beyond your control.

Today, if someone wrongs you, resist the urge to get the last lick. Choose the higher road. Choose peace over pride, forgiveness over revenge, and wisdom over retaliation. In the end, the person who masters their spirit is far stronger than the person who wins an argument.

Today’s Challenge: Think of a situation where you’ve been tempted to “get even.” Instead of seeking retaliation, choose one act of kindness, forgiveness, or silence. You may discover that letting go brings a greater victory than getting the last word.

“He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.” — Proverbs 16:32

The Power Of Obedience

“To obey is better than sacrifice.” — 1 Samuel 15:22

Obedience is not always easy. In fact, some of life’s greatest battles are fought between what we want to do and what we know we ought to do. Yet throughout Scripture and throughout life, we find that blessings often follow obedience.

Obedience is an expression of trust. When we obey God, even when we don’t fully understand His plan, we are saying, “Lord, I trust Your wisdom more than my own.” Noah obeyed and built an ark before there was any sign of rain. Abraham obeyed and left his homeland without knowing where he was going. Their obedience opened the door to God’s extraordinary work.

The same principle applies in everyday life. Success often comes to those who consistently obey the small disciplines of life—showing up on time, keeping commitments, telling the truth, treating others with kindness, and doing what is right when no one is watching.

Many people are waiting for great opportunities while overlooking the simple acts of obedience that are right in front of them. The path to greater things is often paved with faithful obedience in the little things.

Today, ask yourself: What is one thing I know I should do but have been putting off? It may be making a phone call, offering forgiveness, starting a project, or taking a step of faith. Obedience may feel difficult in the moment, but it often brings peace, growth, and blessing in the days ahead.

Remember, obedience is not about perfection; it is about willingness. God can do remarkable things with a heart that is willing to follow Him.

Today’s Challenge: Identify one area where you know the right thing to do and take action on it today. Don’t wait for a better time or better circumstances. Obey the next step God has placed before you.

Prayer: Lord, give me a willing heart to obey You. Help me trust Your guidance even when I cannot see the whole picture. Strengthen me to do what is right and to walk faithfully in the path You have set before me. Amen.

Humor:

A group of seminary students gathered in the chapel one day as the dean challenged them to NOT pray for a large church because of the stress, problems and worries that go with it. The next year one of the students who graduated returned to give his testimony. He said, “I did ask God for a big church; however, I also asked God for a pretty wife. My prayer was ALMOST answered. Instead of getting a big church and a pretty wife, I got a pretty church and a big wife!”
