I reckon it......

Good morning friends! I had a great day yesterday. Went and mowed at the lake property for an upcoming event that another church is having this Saturday and had a lot of great God time while mowing. Then we worked in the garden for awhile. Joslyn and I planted corn together. She would put one seed down then I would put the second. It was pretty cool. But, the party wasn't over then. We came back home and Joslyn and I worked on the flower bed together until dark. She is a pretty cool chick and stubborn just like her daddy. Well, onto today's subject. I awoke after what seemed to be two minutes of sleep and this is where we are now. Let's dig into some of the good stuff.....

Bible Verse: Romans 6:11 - "Reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord."

When I woke up one morning. I felt like I had just gone to sleep. I said to myself, "It can't be four o'clock in the morning!" But my watch said it was four, the clock said it was four, so I guess it was four. Now I have to tell you, it really didn't matter how I felt, did it? The fact was, it was four. Here is the thing, we need to get our salvation out of this area of back and forth emotions and begin to reckon and count on God's truth. Each morning we wake up, we should begin by saying, "I am dead to sin. I am alive in Christ. I know it's the truth. He died for me. Now, I reckon it!" Look up the word "reckon" in the dictionary. It is not just a redneck word either! I know some probably think so. So, are you reckoning yourself dead to sin and alive to Christ? I have talked to so many that question their decision due to circumstances. We must rely on God's truth and have faith in Him and His Word.
