Come on Down!
Come on Down!
1 Timothy 4:15 (NCV) “Continue to do those things; give your life to doing them so your progress may be seen by everyone.”
I’m telling my age again, how many of you remember The Price is Right? This game show premiered September 4, 1972, on CBS. Bob Barker was on the series’ longest-running host from its debut until his retirement in June 2007.
The most famous catchphrase of the show was “Come on down!” It was shouted by the show’s announcer to invite four lucky audience members to the stage. Some of the prizes included cars, living and dining room sets, swimming pool, televisions, refrigerator, jewelry, mink coats, and all-expense paid vacations.
Putting my own spin on the topic, Let’s look at it from a Christian perspective, like when God calls us to come on down to get our blessings by use our gifts for his service. Not only has he called us friends, He has also equipped us for the task. When we give over our times and talents to God, we embrace our divine purpose.
“Your willingness to serve God is as important as your service is to God.” Nothing like a willing vessel that says, send me, I’ll go. Amen.
Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
