Marque Messages

Every morning I drive by a church that has a message on it's marque that changes every week. The message that's there this week has actually been there for about 2 or three weeks. I was wondering if it was a mistake or if it's deliberate. Nonetheless, this morning as I drove by and read it, I began to really reflect on it.

The message said, "How good is your word with God?"

It made me think. We really want God to keep His Word with us, even though we should know that He is incapable of lying. But how good is your word with God? How many times have we presented God with an "if, then" statement? If you get me out of this ________, then I will/won't _______.

Not only that, but how good is your word to others??? Are we promise keepers or do we consistently have to modify our agreements? If you can't keep your word to a person that you can see with your natural eyes, how are you able to keep your word to a being that you MUST see with your spiritual eye?

Food for thought! Be blessed!

glad you are back. Thats a good message because we are always promising something to God when we are in a bind and then forgetting it the sec. trouble has passed.
