 “WHY?!”
Philippians 1:21
“ For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
A proud father, and city employee, was introducing his four-year-old daughter to his boss, the Mayor of the city. The young girl was known to be precocious, but her father thought she would be awed to be personally introduced to such a high city official.

As the Mayor bowed down and politely extended his hand to the young girl, he said, "Hi, I am the Mayor.” The young girl looked straight into his eyes and asked, "Why?” The Mayor was stunned by the question and quickly moved on to the next group of constituents.

Back in his office the Mayor mulled over the girl's innocent question. He was a Christian and was left to ponder the wisdom that this young child had confronted him with. Whywas he doing the things he did? He always tried to be the best person and the best Mayor he could be, but was that enough?

As he bowed and begin to pray, today’s Scripture crossed his mind. That was the answer! He had to live for Christ in everything he spoke and in the things he did. In that quiet time in his office, the Mayor determined that he would have an answer to why he did what he did . . . it would be to honor and glorify Jesus. Why do you do the things you do?

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

It seemed that every time she gave her testimony she looked and sounded like she had just been baptized in lemon juice! It became a joke for the kids in the church. We kids who were eight or nine years of age would make faces and imitate this lady. I am sure her heart was pure and her devotion to the Lord was pure, but her face lacked the appearance of joy. At times we Christians seem to have a short circuit when it comes to having the joy of our salvation. We talk of t
