TWO BITS!
How much is two bits? I have heard this all my younger life. You don't hear it now,, we have grown out of it. Why? Two bits won't buy much! It went along the same route as the five and dime,, the" poor mans store". Now we have the General Dollar, Fred's,, The Green Dollar(which is really the only dollar store), but they are what I call the "poor mans store",,, and I go there regular,, they are "my" store.. My "four bits" store. Now you know how much two bites is ,, one fourth of a dollar.. use to be a small fortune to a young kid, barefooted , in overalls,, or the shoe shine boy.... a tip to the waitress.. worth so much in its' time... lost by mans progress and inflation...
How about our God? Has He lost out with our progression? Have we replaced Him with a more expensive god? Have we advanced, and left Him behind? I say , yes ,, lots of people have left God behind,, and have taken up with that other god,,the almighty dollar!!! Bought items have replaced Him, where there is money enough to do so with.. but when the time comes,,, they will not be alble to drag these items through that eye of that needle,, that we all must go through! So , I say to all, and I ask all who reads this, to shout out to the world,,, that God is still here, He costs nothing,, just the love from you and I,, the faith that He will improvise all things for us... Yes ,,,HE is worth more than all the gold in this world,, He is worth much more than that little fortune of "yester-year",, that
TWO BITS!
God,, thank You for not throwing us to the side like we do You.. when we see the folded stuff,, and stray off the road to You,, May we all accept Jesus and follow the path to You with Him ,, and throw the treasures of this world to the side , and worship only you... amen
John HIcks
I realize we are not worth two bits,, but that our Lord is priceless.. how do you see it?
