Too Many churchgoers are singing
“Standing on the Promises”
when all they are doing is sitting on the premises.

A lazy boy went with his mother to pick blueberries in an orchard. He brought along the smallest pail he could find, and while others were busily picking berries he was just playing, chasing butterflies and watching the birds and squirrels. When it was time to go home, he hurriedly filled his little pail with a lot of moss at the bottom and topped it with a layer of berries.

Next morning his mother baked pies, and she made a special saucer-sized pie just for him. Blackberry pie was his favourite and he could hardly wait for it to cool as he saw the plump berries oozing through a slit in the crust. But when he finally sank his teeth into the pie…he bit through the crust into a whole lot of moss!

Many people want to experience the fullness of God’s promises in their lives, but they are unwilling to do the work that goes along with most of the Bible’s promises. Most of God’s promises are “if-then” statements….if we do one thing, then God will do another. And our part nearly always comes first!

That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Hebrews 6:12
