overdue water bills

How are you doing in your Christian walk? Are you able to walk with confidence, knowing that you are right with the master of the universe? Or do you walk in fear; always worrying, always afraid that God might call an end to it all before you get your life in order.

Some years ago, in Miami Springs, Florida, a crowd of residents rushed to pay overdue water bills. The surprised clerk said, "I never saw anything like it. They came dashing in as fast as they could with money in their hands." Later, the reason for the hurry became apparent. A road grading machine had accidently cut a main water line, shutting off the supply. Unaware of what had taken place, the residents assumed that their water had been turned off for failure to pay their bills.

To me that describes the fear in which many people live. They know there are some things wrong in their lives and they fully intend to correct them sometime, that is if they have time. We each need to understand that it is impossible for us to walk confidently and look back over our shoulder in fear at the same time! Jesus said in Luke 9:62, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." It is impossible for us to live with things in our lives which we know are wrong and still walk with confidence in this world!

How are you doing? Are you walking in confidence? It may be hard for some to believe, but the scripture tells us that we can know that we are in a right relationship with our Lord. The apostle John wrote in 1 John 5:13, "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life." (NIV)

How can we "know" we have eternal life? We can know by studying and obeying the instruction manual, the bible! John also wrote in 1 John 3:24, "Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us."

If you are living in doubt and confusion, then why not decide right now to do something about it. Read "The Bible," God's Word and begin living and walking by what you find there. Then you can walk in confidence!
