RUSTING OR TRUSTING?

As we were driving through one of the SC towns, we passed an real 'ole worn down and rusty looking filling station.It looked like it was about to fall apart, because it hadn't been used or taken care of in the past. What a shame too, because I'll bet it had been a huge help to motorists in its day. Ofcourse,its condition could have been the fault of the weather;the owner,or maybe even both!
When we use the word of God, we will find that it is sharper than any two edged sword, but even swords can get dull and rusty, when they aren't used....
When the elements of neglect, and misuse, are around,that 'ole sword of God's won't operate the way it should,if it were used all the time! In fact,it won't be very sharp at all.His word has to be used continually to be sharpened, and kept from being rusty and dull.
Just like that 'ole filling station that rusted from neglect, God's word can also disappear,if we don't use it....and it won't be anyone's fault but our own!
I say,let's get out the "Scriptural Silver Polish and watch that sword come alive and sparkle with the word of God!
