Where? What? How?

June 4

Where does the Lord want us to go? What does He want us to do with our talents and abilities? How would He have us to carry ourselves into the world of lost, dying people who are perishing for a lack of the knowledge of His Gospel?

Answers to the above: Where He sends us. Lay them at His feet. With humility and love.

If we lack a surrendered spirit that will follow where He leads, and a devoted spirit that will make all our resources available to Him, and a humble spirit that will give Him the glory when our tasks have been achieved, then we will be nothing but the “…sounding brass and tinkling cymbals” of I Corinthians 13:1 that great gifts become without love.

Unless we are willing to lay all recognition for our efforts before Jesus, knowing as the Word says in Ephesians 2:10 that, “We are His…we are created in Christ Jesus for good work which God expects us to walk in,” we cannot begin to see the goal of our work, or to recognize the source of our abilities, or to appropriate the humility and love to please Him through our endeavors.
