For the past several months, I’ve seen vehicles displaying a small bumper sticker that has a fraction on it–1/168. Under the fraction is the comment, “It’s not enough”. I can usually figure out what kind of statement a bumper sticker is trying to make, but this one had me completely stumped. I asked my wife if she knew what it meant, and she was unable to shed any light on the riddle.

Finally, we noticed that a friend of ours had this mysterious bumper sticker on her car, so we asked her what it meant. She explained, “There are 168 hours in a week. One hour in church is not enough time to devote to God.”

Ah, it makes perfect sense now! I was a bit dismayed that I couldn’t figure out the answer for myself. However, I feel sorrier for those who go to church every week, but have nothing else of themselves to give to God.

Jesus says that God is looking for people who will worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24). Has he found such a person in you? What do you do with the other 167 hours?
