“Glorification means full and entire deliverance from sin and evil in all their effects and in every respect – body, soul, and spirit.” – D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
HEARTS: Fully “committed”.
“OPEN 7 DAYS
5 am – late”
I am reading that while sitting in one of our restaurants here in Kaitaia while I am drinking my coffee.
Of course it is back to front from the inside of the shop, but I have no trouble making out the meaning of the writing. I must have seen it many times and also read it many times, but today I am really thinking about the notice.
The word “committed” comes to my mind, and what a beautiful illustration we have here about being “committed”.
Looking up the word “committed” in the Collins English Dictionary I am learning that “committed” means “having pledged oneself to a particular belief or course of action”.
I am a Christian, and actually from the time when I became born again the verse in the Bible that says:
“For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him”,
has been special to me. Lately I have even committed the verse to memory. With other words I have memorized Second Chronicles 16:9.
Please take time and read the story of “Asa’s last days” in chapter 16 of Second Chronicles in the Bible. His heart was not fully committed to the Lord.
Think again about how committed the owner of the restaurant where I had my coffee today is.
“OPEN 7 DAYS
5 am – late”
Notice especially the word “late”. No closing time is given. What an illustration.
“Start where you are,
Use what you have,
Do what you can.”
HOPE: “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, …” – Hebrews 6:19

to the stranger who was concerned that I did not find my friend at a certain place.
Asking for someone at a public place and being told that they did not really know about the whereabouts of that person, was also heard at least by one stranger.
The stranger was really concerned about my dilemma and approached me a little while later to tell me to try Facebook, if I remember correctly.
I was surprised, but remembered the “REGULARS” in Reader’s Digest. One is called “Kindness of Strangers”.
“We have ‘In God We Trust’ on our money, but I wonder how often it is really in the money that we trust, ” says Billy Graham.
The Bible says, “‘No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.'” – Matthew 6:24
