Dear Friends,
Recently
I read an article about how the aviation industry is working with NASA to deal
with the problem of bugs sticking to the wings of airplanes. It is believed that millions upon millions of
dollars can be saved on fuel by reducing the “bug” drag on the wings of
airplanes. It seems that if some kind of surface can be found that allows bugs
to slide off the front of the wings instead of sticking to them, the airline
industry would have a higher profit margin.
You
talk about the power of “stick-to-it-ness”!
As we enter into education and the fall activity mode of the church, I
think of all the good intentions and fresh opportunities we will have to learn
about our God and His love for us.
How
well does that “stick” as we lead by example and desire?
I
encourage you to take and opportunity to find out how the Lord can enrich your
life! Be an example to your child and
teach with your actions the importance of learning God’s word.
Romans
12:9 say, “Love must be sincere. Hate
what is evil, cling to what is good.”
Let
me close with this illustration on how we learn to cling to God’s word.
Cling
in its purest sense means to “hold on tightly.”
One
day last week, it was much cooler than normal but on this particular morning
when I got into the truck to go to a meeting, I noticed the flies stuck to my
antenna. (Not confused with the dead corn moths splattered on the windshield.)
Those flies cling to anything warmer and barely move. I think I got up to 50 mph before the last
fly grudgingly let go and flew off.
My
friends let us hold on tightly to the truth God gives us and learn a few
lessons from some sticky bugs and stubborn flies in the process!
Have
a great transition into August!
Blessings!
Pastor Wayne
