Friday, June 19th. Today's cherished Nugget from guest blogger Pastor Bill.

The prompt action of a young woman had saved the life of a man whose arm had been almost severed from his body. When the others were praising her for what she had done, she replied modestly that she deserved no special praise, as her teacher at school had taught her what to do under such circumstances.

“Oh, I knew that, too,” exclaimed another young lady, “and if anyone had asked
how to stop the flow of blood from a wound, I could have given the answer just
as it is in the book, but I never thought of applying it to this case.”

How many of us have been students of God’s Word, but have never got into the practical application stage of living it? The writer of James admonishes us:

“Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” (James 1:22)

We must apply what we are taught today while we can. God gives us head knowledge
to put to use. Some day there will be a test and we must be prepared for that time.

"God, help me to remember what I have been taught and apply it to my life daily.
Amen."

Live for Him in all ways.
