Sick Days

"I'm sick."  Unless those words were accompanied by fever and vomiting, my Dad wasn't buying.  Maybe that's why I expected my boys to [at the very least] ACT sick -- moan, groan, throw up, writhe in pain ... something!

Do you know what makes God sick?  Things more serious than mere headaches, fever and chills.  God finds it detestable when we are indifferent to our faith -- no genuine walk with the talk.  So what does He think of that: "So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth." (Revelation 3:16)  What we truly believe defines what is important to us. Matthew Henry wrote, "If religion is worth anything, it is worth every thing." How can a Believer possibly explain why he/she never reads the Bible, never prays, never goes to church? When God is really important to us, what He loves … we love. There will be evidence of good spiritual health in our lives. We are to "walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God." (Colossians 1:10)   There are no “sick days” in a Christian’s life -- make each day count for Christ.
