Every once in a while, one of you hand me something that has been an encouragement to you and that you think might be beneficial for others at DCC. A couple of months ago, Dale Linder gave me a small sheet of paper with the following on it:
Recipe For Faithful Living
Live Simply,
Love Generously,
Serve Faithfully,
Speak Truthfully,
Pray Daily,
And Leave the Rest to God.
A — Ask and it will be given you,
For everyone who asks receives.
S — Seek and you will find, for
Everyone who seeks finds.
K — Knock and the door will be
Opened to you, for to the one
Who knocks it will be opened.
We know that the “ask—seek—knock” formula comes directly from Christ (Matthew 7:7-8; Luke 11:9-10), but I am not sure who came up with the recipe formulation. Nonetheless, it speaks well of the Christian life. Thanks, Dale, for this good reminder about faithful living!
In His grip,
Pastor Decker
P.S. I am unable to provide any citation for the "Recipe for Faithful Living" because I have no information on the author.
