Be All There

 "Wherever you are, be all there; live to the hilt every situation that you believe to be the will of God."

-Jim Elliot


    When I first read this quote, I was unsure of what "live to the hilt" meant. So I looked it up and found that the phrase means "As much or to the greatest degree possible; completely or utterly." So according to this quote we are to live every situation that is the will of God to the greatest degree possible. 

    If God has put you in a situation that you don't particularly like or enjoy, don't be miserable about it. Wherever you are, be all there. Whatever God has given you to do, do it with everything you've got. Even if you've got a "small" job that God has given you, do it the absolute best that you can. 

Doing things half-heartedly is not glorifying to God. To honour Him we must use the abilities He has given us to the fullest. Not developing or using the talents that God has given us is being a bad steward. We need to be responsible with the opportunities and talents that we have been given. Doing our best is pleasing to the Lord, whether it is in vacuuming the church hallways, teaching a Sunday school lesson, or singing in the choir, we need to do our best in every task the Lord allows us to have.

    Amen! We can be so divided in our spirit and effort... This is a great reminder. A wonderful quote from a man who definitely did "live to the hilt" all that God called him to do!

Right or Left?

                                                         by Joshua R. Walter of Versailles, Kentucky            Left or Right? You choose. I just wanted to warn you.  “And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.  And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. And he went on his journeys from the south even to Beth-el, into the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Hai; into the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD. And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell tog...
