MONDAY MORNING MOMENTS Dec. 071998 Vol. III Number 47
When Lloyd C. Douglas, author of “The Robe” and other novels, was a university student, he lived in a boarding house, says Maxie Dunnam in Jesus’ Claims-Our Promises. Downstairs on the first floor was an elderly, retired music teacher, now infirm and unable to leave the apartment.
Douglas said that every morning they had a ritual they would go through together. He would come down the steps, open the old man’s door, and ask, “well, what’s the good news?”
The old man would pick up his tuning fork, tap it on the side of his wheelchair, and say, “that’s middle C! It was middle C yesterday; it will be middle C tomorrow, it will be middle C a thousand years from now. The tenor upstairs sings flat, the piano across the hall is out of tune, but my friend that is middle C!”
The old man had discovered one thing upon which he could depend, one constant reality in his life, one “still point in a turning world.” For Christians, the one “still point in a turning world,” the one absolute of which there is no shadow of turning is Jesus Christ. Why not this Christmas season, recommit your life to that one constant, the Babe in a manager.
Wasn’t it exciting to see the altar full yesterday morning with those who were recommitting their lives to Christ. What a great way to start the Christmas season.
“Look at the Nations and watch - and be UTTERLY AMAZED. for I am going to do something in YOUR days that you would not believe even if you were told” Habakkuk 1:5
