But What Can I Do?

This past Sunday, our special guest, Rev. James Weller, Director of MREE (Ministry for Russia and Eastern Europe) spoke of his mission of supplying Bibles to all who need and want them. For over thirty five years, his mission has taken him to areas of the world that most of us would avoid like the plague. Yet, God called on him many years ago with a task. This was to go into the lion’s den of Communist Russia, and spread God’s word, even though it was, and is forbidden. During his message, he reminded us that we can’t do everything, but we can all do something.

          

This got me thinking of all the minute little things that anyone can do to further God’s Kingdom and to spread the Gospel. Have you ever wondered, what can I do, I am only one person, with no skills? Well, regardless of your age, gender, education, or back ground, God has something for you to do. He has imparted it into your make up, and wants to draw it out of you. Here are a few things that anyone can do. Start attending church. Come expecting to receive Him. Enjoy and engage in the worship. Really listen to the message from the pulpit, then carry a bit of that with you when you leave. Listen for God’s breath in your ear when He says, do this in My name. Pray for someone, including yourself. Forgive, and ask for forgiveness. Attend a Bible study. Support a mission to help someone, anyone. Acquire a Bible, and read, and find a scripture that speaks to you. Give someone a Bible. Share Christ with someone. Pay all of this forward.

          

You see, it takes very little to be a part of God’s Kingdom. Ask Him in, and He will fill your mouth with words, and your heart with His Word. The smallest of things that we can do are just as important as the grand ones. In fact, what we do without fan-fair, warms God’s heart even more. When we do for others, do not boast about it, as the Pharisees did in Matthew 6:1 NCV, ”Be careful! When you do good things, don’t do them in front of people to be seen by them. If you do that, you will have no reward from your Father in Heaven”.

          

So, what can you do? Close your eyes, open your heart, and ask God. He’ll let you know, and it will cost you nothing but your belief in His Son, Jesus. That my friends, is free, paid in full on a cross.
