Revival: Living at a Fever Pitch
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men.-Colossians 3:23
We live at a fever pitch, and whether we are erecting buildings,laying highways, promoting athletic events, celebrating special daysor welcoming returning heroes we always do it with an exaggeratedflourish. Our building will be taller, our highway broader, ourathletic contest more colorful, our celebration more elaborate andmore expensive than would be true anywhere else on earth. We walkfaster, drive faster, earn more, spend more and run higher bloodpressure than any other people in the world.
In only one field of human interest are we slow and apathetic: thatis the field of personal religion. There for some strange reason ourenthusiasm lags. Church people habitually approach the matter oftheir personal relation to God in a dull, half-hearted way which isaltogether out of keeping with their general temperament and whollyinconsistent with the importance of the subject. Of God and Men,3-4.
"Lord, revive my zeal for things of God. I get caught up in thefever pitch of so many things. Help me to set my priorities rightand give myself more completely to enhancing my relationship withYou. Amen."
