Get On The Bus!

Get On The Bus!
Let nothing move you.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord's work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:58


Patsy Clairmont writes: "Jason, our youngest, has two goals in life. One is to have fun; the other is to rest. And he does both quite well. So I shouldn't have been surprised about what happened when I sent him to school one autumn day. As Jason headed off for the bus I busied myself, preparing for a full day. The knock on the door was a surprise, and disruptive to my morning rhythm, which is not something I have a lot of. I flew to the door, jerked it open, only to find myself looking at Jason. 'What are you doing here?' I demanded. 'I've quit school,' he announced. 'Quit school?' I repeated in disbelief and at a decibel too high for human ears, swallowing once, and trying to remember some motherly psychology. But all that came to my mind was 'a stitch in time saves nine' and 'starve a fever, feed a cold,' or something like that. Somehow they didn't seem to apply to a six-year-old dropout dilemma. So I questioned 'Why have you quit school?' Without hesitation he proclaimed, 'It's too long, it's too hard, and it's too boring!' 'Jason,' I instantly retorted, 'you have just described life. Get on the bus!'"
When it comes to the Christian life, God promises no bed of roses on the battlefield and no carpet on the racetrack; just a checkerboard of adversity and advancement! His Word says, "Stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain." So the word for you today is - get on the bus!
