Devotion for Monday, July 13th, 2009 - "Hear and Do"

Deuteronomy 30:11-14 "(11) For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. (12) It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, 'Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?' (13) Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? (14) But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, thou mayest do it."

Vs. 12 ends with "that we may hear it, and do it." Vs. 13 ends with "that we may hear it, and do it" and Vs. 14 ends with, "thou mayest do it". Notice that in verse 14 the hearing is not there. Maybe the Lord is telling us that we have heard enough and now it is time to go into action and "do it"

Our churches are filled with hearers. So, somebody tell me why 75% of the work gets completed by 15% of the workers? We have all heard and heard what we are to do. It is now time that we take what we have heard and get something done! When was the last time you won someone to Christ? When was the last time you served in church? Our churches are filled with people who used to do, and now they don't. Where do you think our churches would be if they were filled with people that STILL DO, not just used to do people?

Let's hear it and do it this week. Most of you reading this were challenged to do something in a sermon yesterday. You heard it, but will you do it? It's up to you now, get it done, before it's too late!
