Be Like The Australian Turtle

​Do you know someone who does not believe in God, doubting God, or just isn’t as strong in their faith as you would like to see? In the devotion we had here at New Beginnings last week we learned a little about Australian turtles and how we can, in a way, be compared to them. Sounds strange right, but there is truth behind it!

​Looking at the devotion titled, “All Together Now,” by Miriam Drennan it teaches us a very valuable lesson.  Australian turtle eggs are buried at all different depths, yet they all hatch at the same time. It’s a mystery as to why that is. We can look at that and see in this world everyone is at different ‘depths’ when it comes to knowing about God. Some do not know him at all, which is why we need to spread God’s word so that everyone can ‘hatch’ at the same time when it comes to the last day and we can rejoice in heaven.

​Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.” As believers we should not keep our faith and knowledge of God to ourselves. It is our job to get out into the world and help others get to the same level in order for us all to ‘hatch’ and be taken to heaven together.
