Did you know that 100 years ago today, there was a funeral in Princeton, New Jersey, for a man who had impacted the lives of so many people that the entire town closed down for the day to honor him?
I wouldn’t have known about him if I hadn’t read about him in my devotional this morning.
Charles Hodge was a theologian and professor, and his impact on the lives of his students and community was life-changing.
Most of his students became ministers or missionaries, and the people who knew said his “chief power was in his goodness.”
The end of my devotion said this,
“Think of the people who are in your daily sphere of influence – your children, coworkers, neighbors, and friends.
Whom do you believe God has give to you in whom you can invest your life?”
(From The One Year Christian History Devotional)
It closed with this verse,
You have heard me teach many things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses.
Teach these great truths to trustworthy people who are able to pass them on to others.
II Timothy 2:2
This morning, I am praying that each of you can become a “Charles Hodge” in your community.
Our world needs Christians who are willing to study His Word and then share it with those around them.
Praying for you today as always,
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
