Acts 26: 19 - '...therefore King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to that heavenly vision...'
I wanted to take some time and express my condolences and heart - felt gratitude to the fallen fireman this past weekend. They risked their lives for the cause of saving others. A memorial is being held in their honor today in downtown Houston. No doubt, these men, (and a young woman), will be remembered for the sacrifice they made that day.
I wonder how you and I will be remembered ?
What will be your legacy? Can I tell you that you are shaping your destiny and legacy right now! The decisions you're making today are eventually going to chart your tomorrow. People will remember you, however in a different light. As a child of God, many will remember you for Who You Are, not just what you've done. Later on in the scripture I showed you...King Agrippa tells the Apostle Paul, '...Paul, you almost persuade me to be a Christian!'
Why did he say that? He said that because as Paul was testifying, the King could feel his passion for the gospel...it was more than performance, Jesus had consumed his entire life! When you speak, when you make decisions, how you carry yourself; are people persuaded that this is more than a performance?
Jas. 1: 22 - 24, 'Be doers of the word, not hearers only deceiving yourselves. If anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man beholding himself in a mirror; he observes himself, walks away, and forgets what manner of man he was.'
James tells us we have to do more than hear the gospel, we have to apply it to our everyday living! Are you willing to sacrifice your life for Jesus like these brave firemen did for others? Don't worry, one day you're going to find out!!
