Exodus 20:3

KNEELING DOWN

This morning I saw somebody barefoot, in shorts and singlet hanging on to a waterhose literally kneeling beside his car and brushing it with the greatest vigour I have ever seen.

I was standing in the house looking through the window clothed with a jacket and long trousers and socks on my feet. And I felt even cold inside the house.

It is good for people to clean their cars.

However the thought came to my mind that we are so often bowing down and worshipping material things. We don’t really admit it and we don’t bow our knees literally.

But, —let us rather bow our knees before the Living God, who created the Heaven and the Earth.

Ecclesiastes 10:7

A Devotional Book by C. H. Spurgeon is called: MORNING AND EVENING.

And this is what I read this morning, “Upstarts frequently usurp the highest places, while the truly great pine in obscurity.”

“When our Lord was upon the earth, although He is the prince of the kings of the earth, yet He walked in the footpath of weariness and service as the Servant of servants: what wonder is it if His followers, who are princes of the blood, should also be looked down upon as inferior and contemptible persons?”

Proverbs 14:10

Each heart knows its own bitterness, AND NO ONE ELSE CAN SHARE ITS JOY.

HOW TRUE IS THAT!
