ARE YOU A HEN OR A HOG?

January 19th                                             

It’s an “Are You A Hen or A Hog?” Day  

LORD, HELP US TO GIVE OUR ALL AND ALL TO YOUR KINGDOM ON THIS DAY AND EVERY DAY. MAY WE GIVE YOU 100% BECAUSE 99 1/2 WON’T DO. AMEN. 

A conversation is said to have taken place between a Hen and a Hog when they passed a church and observed the subject of the pastor’s sermon: “How can we help the poor?” After a moment’s reflection, the Hen said, “I know what we can do. We can give them a ham-and-egg breakfast!” The Hog protested, saying, “The breakfast would be only a contribution for you, but for me, it would mean a total commitment!” 

This reminds me of that song we use to sing when I was a child growing up in Calvary Baptist Church. It went like this:

“All to Jesus I surrender; 

All to Him I freely give; 

I will ever love and trust Him, 

In His presence daily live.

All to Jesus I surrender;

Humbly at his feet I bow,

Worldly pleasures all forsaken;

Take me, Jesus, take me now.

All to Jesus I surrender;

Make me, Saviour, wholly Thine;

Let me feel the Holy Spirit, 

Truly know that Thou art mine. 

All to Jesus I surrender;

Lord, I give myself to Thee;

Fill me with Thy love and power;

Let Thy blessing fall on me. 

All to Jesus I surrender;

Now I feel the sacred flame. 

Oh, the joy of full salvation!

Glory, glory, to His Name!

I surrender all,

I surrender all;

All to Thee, my blessed Saviour, 

I surrender all.”

Beloved, I ask you today are you the Hen or the Hog when it comes to the Kingdom of God? Are you contributing some or are you committed to giving your all in all?
