Today's Scripture *December 17, 2009*
2 Kings 1: 13-15
Once more the king sent a third captain with fifty men. But this time the captain went up the hill and fell to his knees before Elijah. He pleaded with him, “O man of God, please spare my life and the lives of these, your fifty servants. See how the fire from heaven came down and destroyed the first two groups. But now please spare my life!”
Then the angel of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him, and don't be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went with him to the king.
Notice how the third captain went to Elijah. Although the first two captains called Elijah "man of God", they were not being genuine (2 Kings 1: 9-12)--God was not in their hearts. The third captain also called him "man of God", but he humbly begged for mercy. His attitude showed respect for God and His power and saved the lives of his men.
Effective living begins with a right attitude toward God. Before religious words come out of your mouth, make sure they are from your heart. Let respect, humility, and servant hood characterize your attitude toward God and others.
God, we worship You and adore You.
May our lives be characterized by our respect, humility, and servant hood.
In Jesus' Name, Amen...
God bless you!
In His Service,
April
