This Wednesday, July 4, marks two hundred thirty-one years since the Declaration of Independence was signed. This marked a turning point. Historians record how that these people were taking a real risk. Their determination for freedom for themselves and future generations was the motivation that energized them.
What if our dedication to the Lord and His church had the same determination? Do we remember that our diligent efforts in the Lord's work will bless future generations? Even greater than the cause of the early American colonists is the work of the Lord's church. Our work is directly linked to eternity. Our foundation is the Lord and His gospel. Our standard is the only perfect and sure word, the Bible. Before us is the greatest reward available to mankind, heaven. Indeed, doing our best should be our natural response!
"Not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord" (Romans 12:11).
