The following is from a devotional entry by Oswald Chambers:
"Do not quench the Spirit." 1 Thessalonians 5:19
There was a very cautious man
Who never laughed or played;
He never risked, he never tried,
He never sang or prayed.
And when he one day passed away
His insurance was denied;
For since he never really lived,
They claimed he never died!
We are told that in order to have an amazing life we should go sky diving, travel the world, and experience all that we can. But the real secret to an extraordinary life is heeding the call of Christ and following Him wherever He leads. Sadly, many of us miss out on this life because we are almost persuaded, but ultimately we choose to do what we want to do.
When we put off the invitation of salvation through Christ Jesus, tell the Lord we'll start serving Him tomorrow, or ignore the Holy Spirit's prompting to live a more godly life, we are missing out on really living.
Let us not miss one more moment. When we hear God's calling in our life, let's dare to see what He has in store for those who choose to live life to its fullest with Him!
