Pop And No Kick
“But let us, who are of
the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an
helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to
obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake
or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves
together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” (1 Thessalonians 5:8-11)
Today’s
Morsel: In the Army, one of the
lessons we would teach our soldiers during Basic Rifle Marksmanship Training
was that if they were firing their weapon and they pulled the trigger and they
heard a pop (the trigger extractor hitting the bullet) but they felt no recoil,
then their weapon did not fire, and that they must apply immediate action quickly
to get it firing again. This was especially true in combat. Job
told his friends they were all physicians of no value. In other words,
they had a pop but no kick. They had words, but no effectiveness in his
situation. If we are not able to aid others in their dilemmas, then we
may need to apply immediate action to our life. Our words must be
effective for edification and aid to others in their dilemmas. We need to
apply immediate action so our words are effective for edification.
Sing: There
is power, power, wonder working power, in the blood, of the Lamb; there is
power, power, wonder working power in the precious blood of the Lamb.

Today: Death and life are in the tongue
