Merely to Obtain Dirt
When David was faced with Goliath, he ran toward him. We have a goliath task in front of us, and we too must run into the battle for the lost. History shows us that soldiers have rushed into battle merely to obtain dirt. Many have given their lives to get back a hill in Vietnam, Korea, or Israel-a hill that may be returned to the enemy through peace negotiations twenty years later. Their costly efforts proved to be futile. Our labor, however, is not in vain. It's eternal, and it's the most noble battle in which we could be involved. Listen to Scripture: "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not vain in the Lord." There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
