How far would Moses have gone if he had taken a poll in Egypt? What would Jesus Christ have preached if he had taken a poll in the land of Israel? . . . It isn't polls or public opinion of the moment that counts. It is right and wrong and leadership

Harry S. Truman is quoted as saying:

"How far would Moses have gone if he had taken a poll in Egypt? What would Jesus Christ have preached if he had taken a poll in the land of Israel? . . . It isn't polls or public opinion of the moment that counts. It is right and wrong and leadership."

If you wait for approval or permission to do right by someone, that opportunity may never come.

If you're waiting for the right time to correct a personal offense, you may wait until it's too late.

If it's the perfect opportunity you're looking for to share the Gospel of Jesus, then every other opportunity will have passed you by.

If you want the go ahead from a neighbor to do for them a good deed to show you care, the nod may never come.

If you're looking for approval from friends and family to render complete and total dedication to the Lord, you may wait for a tomorrow that never happens.

The Bible says, "For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (2 Cor. 6:2).

What if you always waited for permission to do the right thing? Something to think about.

I hope you have a great day!
