AUG. 10TH.
TEXT: 1 Chronicles 11:12-14King James Version (KJV)
12 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.
13 He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.
14 And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the Lord saved them by a great deliverance.
Without doubt, David’s men were sincere and loyal to him,
and this can be seen from their service to him. These guys were able to find
their life in the assignment given to David by God so they sowed their life to
it. When these men sowed their life to this assignment heaven reserved a
special place for them in the history of mankind.
A lot of people sow
seeds just for the sake of sowing, but no amount of seed you sow, without first
sowing your life to God, will be effective or good enough.
Except a life is sown as a seed to God it will lack the
fruit of glory. First and foremost, your life must have been sown as a seed to God,
because the Bible says, except a seed falls to the ground and dies it abides
alone. Unless the outer shell is broken, your potentials cannot be ignited, and
not much will happen through such lives.
Do not waste your
time for that which you would not get any eternal reward for, plant yourself in
the service of God in the right place and at the right time. Do all you can to
make sure that at the end of the day your effort will amount to something that
heaven will count useful to the agenda of God. Let your life and effort be
invested into that for which the Lord will say to you “Weldone”. Shalom!
