There are no instant heroes

Story of the day:  There are no instant heroes

In the Last Days Newsletter, Leonard Ravenhill tells about a group of tourists visiting a picturesque village who walked by an old man sitting beside a fence.  In a rather patronizing way, one tourist asked, “Were any great men born in this village?”

The old man replied, “Nope, only babies.”

A frothy question brought a profound answer.  There are no instant heroes–whether in this world or the Kingdom of God.  Growth takes time.

Quote of the day:  Robert Tuttle

“The Christian walk is much like riding a bicycle; we are either moving forward or falling off.”

Bible verse of the day:  2 Peter 3:18 (NKJV)

“but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  To Him be the glory both now and forever.  Amen.”

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

To You alone be all the glory.  I pray to grow daily in Your Grace and Knowledge, sharing Your Light to all whom I meet.  May every tool that I use be used for Your Glory and may I continue moving forward towards the finish line.  I love You and thank You for this blessed day!

In Jesus Name I pray,

Amen
