B.I.A.K.!

• A farmer from the Midwest decided to visit his congressman. The day he arrived in Washington, he discovered that the congressman was too bogged down in committee meetings to meet with him. Having more time than interests, he decided to wander through the halls, observe the different people who were hurrying from one office to another and try to understand what was going on.
• The next morning when he arrived for his visit he appeared with a handmade lapel badge with the letters, B.I.A.K.! Puzzled, his congressman asked, "What does B.I.A.K. stand for?"
• With no hesitation the old farmer said, "Boy, am I confused!"
• The congressman thought for a moment and then replied, "Sir, you don't spell confused with a 'K'; it is spelled with a 'C.'"
• "Mister," he said, "you just don't know how confused I am since I got here!"
• It is not that way with God. His Word has taken the "confusion" out of His plan for our salvation. It is clear, concise, convincing and compelling. We read in The Amplified Bible, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ (give yourself up to Him, take yourself out of your own keeping and entrust yourself into His keeping) and you will be saved." Any questions?
Prayer: Lord, we thank You for Your immeasurable love, undeserved grace and understandable plan of salvation. Thank You for being our Savior. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Scripture for Today: Acts 16:31 So they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
