You put your right foot in,
You take your right foot out
You put your right foot in
And you shake it all about
You do the hokey pokey and
You turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about
Jesus said that's exactly what he wants us to do... Throw our whole self in! Do our best! Give what we've got!
The Bible tells us...
"...Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then, you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -- his good, pleasing and perfect will." - Romans 12:2
"...be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal." -- Romans 12:10
Do know what "zeal" means? It means we should have enthusiasm and energy! So, when we serve God by loving other people...or serving those around us... or reading the Bible...or praying...we shouldn't drag our feet and put it off to do later... We should do it with enthusiasm and "put our whole self in" ...
It's easy to go to bed at night and say "I'm tired, I'll just pray tomorrow." But, God wants us to talk with Him so that we have a relationship with Him.
Galatians 6:9 says,"...Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
