Whose Orders?

Years ago I read notice of a horrible train wreck in which many people died painfully amid the twisted, burning wreckage. The engineer was killed as well. But as he lay near death he showed those near a paper, saying, “Take this. It will show I was given the wrong orders.” And they were the wrong ones. He had been on the wrong track. Yet he was still dying. And many were already dead close by . . .

Friend, you have an eternal soul, entrusted to you by God to serve Him. What orders are you following? Are they His? or man’s idea of religion? Make sure, because sincerity is not enough.
