Today’s Thought “Oil and Water” G. Ward 1 Corinthians 15 3 For I handed down to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. How successful have any been co-piloting with Holy God (Isa.55:8-9)? While the bumper sticker implies we can, our earthly presence acknowledges dependence due to our frailties; everyone needs another and being on an island alone with a soccer ball is only a movie. I would hope the urgency in highest surrender to one’s Maker would greatly exceed the kind of interdependence found in man, because that stance (where trusting the Almighty is concerned) promotes humility, protecting future generations to know HE is from everlasting to everlasting. Failure to recognize limitations from every man is a brooder of chaos and whereas some seek to point many to their accomplishments, they presume on a receptivity from dozens that delights in their discourse which is always short-lived and sadly the archive after death will often read John Doe accepted the Lord at an early age and was baptized, when the actuality of an eternity with Christ was jeopardized due to lack of total surrender while alive (*Matt.7:21-23).
