Faith's Value
In my morning devotions I read something from Billy Graham that caught my attention. His comment was this,"The Christian faith has become a cheap faith because we to often live as if it has no value." I had to think on how much value I do put on my faith in Christ. Has my 'saving faith' become a 'living faith' that others may see? If serving Jesus has become an inconvenience to me because of time demands in my busy schedule its little wonder that the world, my little world, the sphere of people I associate with, does not consider my faith relevant when I'm not even willing to give my time and energy to what I say I believe in. If I tell others that I would die for Christ am I willing to also live for Him? It is so hard for me to believe that there are places in the world where believers in Christ can still be jailed for sharing their faith or face the death penalty for leading lost souls to Christ. I have all this freedom of religion, freedom of press, freedom to assemble, and freedom of speech and use very little of it to promote the thing I value most, my relationship with the One who has saved me from my sinful ways and has shown nothing to me but His grace and mercy. So, here I am again reexamining my faith in Christ to see if it measures up to the consideration of what I think is valuable to me. Lord, please help me in what little time I may have to value you more than anything else.
