Action In Waiting
C. F. Blumhardt
For those who listen for Christ`s coming, a knock sounds over and over again. The things that come forth are not necessarily highly spiritual. Sometimes they are very simple. For instance, we may be told, "Don`t neglect your body. Don`t you know it is a temple of the Spirit?" (1 Cor 3:16) Or we may be asked, "Why do you drink so much wine? Why do you eat so much food?" Such matters seem contemptibly small. Yet whoever is wise will open the door when God`s messengers speak. And whoever is wise will act on what he or she hears, and do so joyfully and confidently.
