Your Slip is Showing!


Heb 2:1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

I just hate it when important things get neglected. Like when we spend so much time trying to help others that our own family gets neglected. Many times we are so busy on incidental ministry that new believers fail to get discipled. How about when we serve the Lord so much that we don't have time to pray! Add to that list, people in the nursing homes that drop to the bottom of our "to do" list, Bible reading that gives way to TV viewing, healthy eating and exercise giving way to frequent quick trips to the drive-thru and immobility behind a computer screen typing blogs. Oh, and then there is the business of trying to keep a home operational while the love life disappears.

Oh, the wiles of the enemy and the snares of life which keep us from the important stuff. How often do we say "yes" to the good and then have to say "later" to the best? And “later” seldom comes.

How we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, know and are assured of, the things which should never be allowed to slip. Is your slip showing?

GRACIAS POR ESTE RECORDATORIO.
EN MI PAIS HAY UN PROVERBIO POPULAR QUE DICE "no dejes para mañana lo que puedes hacer hoy".
PARECE QUE MUCHAS VECES DEJAMOS PARA MAÑANA LO QUE DEBEMOS HACER YA.

Wow! That was a great blog. However, it was a bit convicting! Be nice on the next ones - ok?
