- Three Dollars Worth of God by Wilbur Rees
I would like to buy $3 worth of God, please. Not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep, but just enough to equal a cup of warm milk, or a snooze in the sunshine. I don’t want enough of God to make me love a black man, or pick beets with a migrant. I want ecstasy, not transformation. I want warmth of the womb, not a new birth. I want a pound of the Eternal in a paper sack. I would like to buy $3 worth of God, please.
You have probably heard the expression—”Lead, follow or get out of the way.”
But an old Baptist preacher I heard last week put it this way: “Lead, follow or get out of the way? No. Just follow. Jesus. Just follow Jesus!”
The Apostle Paul was good at just that. Following Jesus. Wherever. Whenever. Follow Jesus. Good times, bad times, follow Jesus. Have little or have much, follow Jesus. Shipwreck. Beatings. Prison. Follow Jesus.
Do you want to walk in the fullness of Christ? Guess what? Follow Jesus the Christ.

Some people think that God is a good thing to include in your life as long as He really doesn’t get in the way or require too many changes. As long as the cost isn’t too great, God is given His place—right beside all the other activities and obligations that vie for our attention.We are tempted to think we can get out of God what we put into Him. If I want a little more I can give a little more. I can read a few extra pages in the Bible, say an extra prayer, go to church a bit more. However, God is not for sale at any price.
