One of my enjoyments in this life is getting outdoors to see God’s creation.  As such, I was fortunate recently to visit Niagara Falls again.  There is something about seeing 600,000 gallons of water falling every second from a height of 18 stories.  The turbulence of this amount of water falling at that distance creates strong currents at the foot of the falls.  Amazingly at a short distance away, the water is calmer and shows little effect from the force of the falls.

Is this how we are with God’s message each time we hear it?  Are we moved by the message for only a short time during the week until there is little or no impact in our lives as we get further away from Worship service?  In James 1:22, we are told to “be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”  Don’t let God’s message dissipate during the week; being a true follower of Christ is not
something we should do part of the time.
