Lesson 19: Accessories
Car accessories are those things that make driving more pleasant. They are not necessities; you can drive without them, but they make the driving experience more enjoyable. My dad’s old ’54 pickup had one accessory—a glove compartment. By the time I got my ’69 Vauxhall it had a glove compartment and a cigarette lighter (now called a power outlet). Later vehicles had a radio, cassette player, cd-player and a satellite radio. Today’s luxury vehicles have all this and more—heated seats, power seats, DVD-player, heated steering wheel, climate control and built-in navigation system, to name a few.
In our Christian life there are also necessities and accessories. Certain things are absolutely necessary if we are to maintain a healthy spiritual lift—prayer, Bible reading, worship and fellowship with other Christians, and acts of service. And there are other things that can help us, things that in this context may be considered accessories. These include listening to good music that will inspire us, reading good books that will encourage us, and putting good art in our homes (including Christian art and mottos).
1 Corinthians 10:31
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
