WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE:  WHAT CAN I DO?

I often sit staring at a blank screen, praying for God to pour into me what he wants me to share with all of you. Sometimes inspiration comes immediately and the daily posts write themselves. Other times I have to do research and pray for guidance. I am inspired by all the little children I see on social media with deep messages for their age.

I Tim 4:12-16 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

The word doesn’t say how old Timothy was when he received this letter. It is good advice for any age. We are not to neglect the gift of God within us. We are to meditate on the things of God and give ourselves fully to them. If we stick to the old paths God will bless us. We will be a light and beacon to the lost that hear us.

We don’t have to be a certain age to win the lost to Christ. Some feel if they are not called to be a preacher, teacher, worship leader that they can’t do anything for the cause of Christ. But there are many things we do every day that further the gospel. The most important is to live our life with integrity and stand upon the foundation we have been given; Jesus our solid rock.

People often feel if they cannot do a huge thing that there is no reason to do anything. But our God took two fish and five barley loaves and fed over five thousand men, not counting their wives and children. God can take our small acts of dedication and multiply them to bless and deliver many.

I once heard a story of a woman that was sick and stayed in bed most of the time. A lot of people in her position would say, there is nothing I can do to further the cause of Christ. She however, picked up the telephone and started dialing her area code and exchange then 0000, the next call 0001. When the phone was answered she would ask them if they knew Jesus?  I can’t remember the amount of people that she reached before she died. But many people got their start on their faith journey because one woman picked up the phone.

What can you do today? What is God nudging you to do? Make no mistake about it there is something we all can do to help others find Jesus. That is our mission and purpose for existing.

 1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.

The world right now is anything but hopeful. The news is full of doom and gloom. The holiday season is often depressing to those who do not have hope. As we let our hope arise within us and start to share it, others will wonder how we can have hope in a world of darkness. This is how we share the gospel; without the hope of Jesus, we would be just as miserable as everyone else.

The question to ask is, what can I do to further the gospel? Then pray about it and God will show you. Little is much when God blesses it.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
