Pass The Ammo!
"My son, if you receive my words, and treasure
my commands within you… then you will understand
the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God."
Proverbs 2: 1, 5
A family in Lansing, Michigan, was cleaning their aunt’s
home when they found what seemed to be a live round
of ammunition, something that looked like a torpedo.
The bomb squad came and determined it was a World War I
round that had been cleaned out and was stuffed with money,
silver certificates, coins from late 1800s, and currency from
the early 1900s. Their torpedo was a treasure!
The Bible is God’s armory. It’s full of His commands.
Sometimes we feel threatened by the commandments.
We love God’s promises, and we relish His descriptions
of Jesus Christ.
However, Scripture also contains instructions for living.
Within each commandment is a treasure, for God never
tells us to do something unless: (1) It’s for our good
and (2) He gives us the enabling grace to obey it.
God’s commands are His words of
love to us. We should treasure them.
"Joy is like oil to the wheels, which makes
a Christian run in the way of God’s
commandments, so that they are
not burdensome."
Thomas Watson
