TAKE STOCK OF YOUR RELIGION
Around the Year with Emmet Fox
April 16
What has your religion done for you?
For years probably, you have been attending church,
reading spiritual books, studying the Bible.
Now I suggest that you have a spiritual stocktaking.
Ask yourself what difference
religion has made in your life,
in your home, in your affairs.
How much peace of mind has it given you?
How much courage? How much understanding?
How much opportunity for service?
For, make no mistake,
real religion does give all these things.
If your spiritual stocktaking
does not turn out to be satisfactory,
I believe that you will find
the explanation to lie in the following law:
What you put into your religion,
that you get out of it.
If you put in 5 percent of yourself,
you will receive a 5 percent dividend or demonstration.
If you put in 20 percent of yourself,
you will receive a 20 percent demonstration.
Complete returns call for a 100 percent investment.
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do,
do it with thy might.
Ecclesiastes 9:10
