“could sling a stone at a hair and not miss” [Judges 20:16(NIV)]

“could sling a stone at a hair and not miss”. One can imagine the practice session for these left-handed slingshots. Hairs strung out at various distances tested their accuracy and competence. We are told that they did not miss. It reflected their dedication and practice.
Serving the Lord is not about choosing the easy option or having a casual attitude. It’s about putting him first and giving, doing, the best we can. You and I may not be the smartest or the cleverest but we can still give the best of our abilities to the Lord. The quality of our service will reflect the quality of our love. Ephesians encourages us to ‘serve wholeheartedly’. The Letter to the Romans speaks of giving ourselves ‘fully to the work of the Lord’. Let’s give the Lord the very best we have. [AP]
