GET MOVING

                                                 GET MOVING 

                                       One thing really neat about the Bible
                                       is that it is always teaching and showing
                                       us new ideas concerning eternal truths,
                                       often couched in story form.

                                      
For instance, right now we are reading
                                       the marvelous story of the four lepers
                                       sitting outside
the gate of Samaria
                                       (found in the seventh
chapter of Second 
                                       Kings).


                                       Here are four lepers, probably with some 
                                       horrible, physical disfigurations and noted to
                                       be s
piritually unclean according to the religious
                                       laws of the
 land at that time.

                                       They must have been sitting outside the city
                                       for several days because they
were literally
                                       staving to death.
In all their misery, they no doubt
                                      
had engaged in their own little pity party. Suddenly,
                                       one of the speaks up
and says...

                                       "Why sit we here until we die. We will stave if we 
                                       stay here and will
stave if we go back into the city,
                                       so we
might as well go out and surrender to the
                                      
Syrian army.  If they let us live so much the better;
                                       but if they kill us, we would have
died anyway."

                                       So these four lepers rose to their feet, went out
                                       into 
the Syrian camp and found it totally abandoned,
                                       with an abundance of food and treasures galore 
                                       left behind.


                                       Oh, ye that feel leprous and downtrodden, let us
                                       not be afraid of our future, instead, let us stand 
                                       on our feet, and with the
Lord's help, get moving
                                       and go forward. Go forward with faith and trust
                                       in our Lord. Abundance awaits you.
