Day two of Rodeo Bible Camp and we are still alive n' cookin'! The August-like weather has not stopped us yet. Unfortunately, August has shorter days than June; we're getting the full enjoyment of near 100° days for a couple of more days here in the cookin' part of the cookin' crew's hometown. Nuf said about that! Now that I'm done crying about the weather for the day (Yeah, right.), I'll slop some egg on my shirt...rats, I like this shirt too. Friday, my day of dumb-headed devotion to the Lord.
We often think of trying to impress the Lord with our devotion to Him and to our brethren and sistren in Christ. The religious facade and the pious acts may cover a deeply troubled heart. On the other hand, we may have a barely religious life with piety left by the wayside back yonder, and still have a deeply troubled heart. There are indeed a lot of deeply troubled hearts out there, some troubled for themselves and others for the friends, neighbors, casual acquaintances and even the world as a whole. We have much to be troubled about, but here is something we can trust in: the dependable devotion of Jesus our Lord!
Out of the many arguments for the devotion of Jesus to us, one stands over and above the rest: He went to the cross to save us. That is some very dependable and loving devotion to show to a bunch of whosoevers who had not even been born yet.
Have a devoted Friday in Christ Jesus!
