Bible
I doubt that, outside
of God giving His only Begotten Son that we may have eternal life, that you
would find a greater picture of dedication in all of God’s Word. Would you not agree with me that Abraham’s
dedication to God led him to be willing to give his very best to God?
One day while walking
with some children, Queen Mary was caught in a sudden shower. Quickly taking shelter on the porch of a
home, she knocked at the door and asked to borrow an umbrella. “I’ll send it back tomorrow,” she said. The queen had deliberately disguised her
appearance by putting on a hat that partly covered her face and by wearing very
plain clothing. The householder,
reluctant to give a stranger her best umbrella, offered her a castoff she found
in the attic. One rib was broken and
there were several holes in it.
Apologizing, she turned it over to the monarch, whom she did not
recognize. The next day she had another
visitor – a man with a gold braid on his uniform and an envelope in his
hand. “The queen sent me with this
letter,” he said, “and also asked me to thank you personally for the loan of
your umbrella.” Stunned, the woman burst
into tears. “Oh, what opportunity I
missed that I did not give her my very best,” she cried.
✞ Give God your very best every moment of every day.
