2 Thessalonians 3:11 NASB "For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies."It sat idle for 6 months but it looked good doing it! It was time to fire up the lawnmower that had sat all winter, but in order for it to begin to work, I had to do some things to it! Today's verse speaks to us about idleness, being busybodies but not really doing anything, hopefully it's not about us! Although the lawnmower looked good, there was no gas in it, the oil needed to be changed and the blade sharpened for the new cutting season. Just looking at it, you couldn't tell that it was basically useless until it was worked on! Some of us may be just like that, we look good from the outside, but we need some work to be productive. We may even be busy doing this and that but never really accomplishing anything. We need to get fired up, new gas in our system, new oil in our veins, and a sharpening of our skill set so that we can not just look good but be productive! Let's get fired up and sharpened for the work God has called us to! peace, tom
