“To Go, Please!”

Yesterday it happened once again. Have you ever gone into a restaurant and ordered something and the cashier asks the ritual questions? “Original or crispy?” or “With or without pickles?” or “Is this for here or to go?” Well that’s what happened to me, except the answers turned out to be useless. I was asked “original or crispy?” and my reply was “Crispy” but what I got was original anyways! THEN, they ask “For here or to go?” and I requested that I get it “for here.” When the order came, do you think I got it on a tray? Nope. Everything bagged and ready to go!

This is quite petty, I know. Did we get upset and rant and rave and demand that the order be fixed? No, it was no big deal. My only point is, what was the point to asking? It would save us all the time and aggravation if they would just tell us what’s cooking for us and that it’ll be bagged and read to go in few minutes!

Questions are a great tool if you need to get some answers. However, they are rendered useless if you are not ready to do anything with the answers you get!

Well, we know that scripture contains all the answers for life’s questions. 2 Timothy 3:16 tells us all the ways that scripture is profitable to us. THEN, verse 17 tells us what all of that will do for us. Yeah, well, what’s the point if nothing is done about that? We go through all the bother to do all the “right” things like reading our Bible, going to church three times a week, and memorizing scripture verses BUT it’s all in vain if nothing is applied to our lives!

One last point. Jesus is the answer to your sin problem (and yes, you DO have one, see Romans 3:23)! What have you done with Him? (How do I get saved? – clearsight.org)
