What has your religion done for you? For years probably, you have been attending church, reading spiritual books, studying the Bible. Now I suggest that you have a spiritual stocktaking. Ask yourself what difference religion has made in your life, in your home, in your affairs. How much peace of mind has it given you? How much courage? How much understanding? How much opportunity for service? For, make no mistake, real religion does give all these things.
If your spiritual stocktaking does not turn out to be satisfactory, I believe that you will find the explanation to lie in the following law: What you put into your religion, that you get out of it.
If you put in 5 percent of yourself, you will receive a 5 percent dividend or demonstration. If you put in 20 percent of yourself, you will receive a 20 percent demonstration. Complete returns call for a 100 percent investment.
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might! (Ecclesiastes 9:10).
Investing out time and focus in our faith is the best return on investment we will ever experience. For, unlike material investments, there is no cap on spiritual return rates nor the length of time those investments will pay off. No collapse of the market will destroy them and no recessions will erode them.
And, unlike material investments, that which we receive can not be purchased or acquired by wealth. The returns on our spiritual investments are peace, joy, hope and eternal life. So today, let us review our spiritual portfolio, and if we are not putting enough of our time, focus and energy into it, then let us restructure our investment plan. The yield will be infinite for us and for all those we touch.
Investing in faith,
