We've All Got A Job

Just had a thought that I know a lot of people wonder about. A lot of people get stuck in the wrong thinking that they can't be used by God because they are not in full-time ministry or working in the church in some way. 1 Corinthians 12:27 says, "Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it." If you read that chapter you see the point. We are all created differently and with various skills and abilities and gifts to be used for God. The truth is those who volunteer are so valuable to the growth of the church (locally and world-wide) that if more people got this down, then our church group and all church groups would be so much more effective. My challenge to everyone is start to search out how you specifically can be more used in church. How can you use your abilities that were given to you by God? That's the fun part. When you start to follow and use your gifts and passions that God put in your life for Him, then it gets exciting. The possibilite are endless when God is behind us!

Reminder

I think it's easy for us to just go through the motions of life and forget what God has planned for us. Look at what we do. We get up every day and probably go through the same basic routine that we do every day. You get up and get ready by showering, cleaning up, eating, brushing your teeth, and so on, until we get in our cars and head off to work. Maybe you stay at home and have a routine there. It's still the same. I beleive we waste a lot of time by just going through the motions and fogetting about our future. If you are a Christian then your home is in Heaven. You get to be with your Creator. The King of all Kings. He's made His followers royalty. Right now you and I are in the world that He created, but it's been messed up. WE're going to be with Him in perfection. Does that sink in with you? I would encourage you to, as you go through your life and do the things you need to, never forget what God has done for you. Never forget what your future is going to be all about. Keep that with you as you go and see how much that changes your day. See how that affects how you interact with others.
