Book Excerpt
Going Beyond Measure<
“II Corinthians 8:3 (KJV)
“For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves."
"...Sometime ago, while stationed at the Pentagon, I visited the Medal
of Honor Hall and was awestruck by the vast diversity of men displayed
there for their heroic acts.
Each of those servicemen was
awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for displaying “… conspicuous
gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and
beyond the call of duty.”As I began to read the citations of the servicemen, they all had one thing in common: these men went “beyond measure” and gave all
they had, which was their life, to save others and do their duty.
They were willing to freely give the most precious thing at the moment—their life—and in doing so, this act is beyond measure in comparison
to those around them, which is intrepidity. Intrepidity as defined by Webster’s Dictionary is “The quality of mind enabling one to face danger or hardship resolutely with no regard.”Spiritually, we should be living our lives just as these men, who have
been honored with the Congressional Medal of Honor. We should be
going beyond measure in freely and willingly doing the will of God.
When we go beyond measure in service to God, we are essentially a living example of the widow in Luke 21:1–4. This widow gave all she had—no reserve for tomorrow in doing the will of God.
