Don’t Be The Whistle, Be The Train

I saw on a Facebook page I follow where former pro wrestler Eddie Graham had said to go and stand at the railroad track and to listen to the whistle when the train goes by. Listen to the powerful sound and then think about it. That whistle has nothing at all to do with the train running.

I thought, it’s that way with life, isn’t it? We can talk and talk until we are blue in the face but unless we back up what we say with action, then it is all just like the sound of that whistle — just noise!

As Christians, we sometimes use our voices to talk loud about Christ but do our actions back up our words or are we just making noise? It’s great to make noise for Jesus Christ but it is more important to let the world see that we mean what we say by putting action behind those words. Living in the town of Lee, I often hear the train whistle and the rumble of the train in the distance but all I hear is noise. If I were at the tracks, I would see the action.

In 2015, resolve to not just be the train whistle people hear in the distance in your life as a Christian; be the train that people can see coming down the tracks with your actions. Happy New Year.
