I really love Bob Yandian's devotional "Morning Moments" for today! The title reads: God Has No Past-Time Help. It goes on to say:
Believers who run drill presses, wait tables, or sit behind desks are as much in full time ministry as the pastor of a church or the evangelist who holds crusades around the world. The secret behind success in any ministry is not what office you stand in, but who put you there. Are you in Bible school because it seemed like a good idea at the time or did God direct you there? Are you an attorney because you can make a good living for your family or did God call you to the legal profession? It you are in God's will,, you can be as fulfilled, peaceful, and spiritually productive in a workshop as you would be in a pulpit ministry.
Doesn't that just set you free? 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 show us that we are ALL called to the full time ministry! We just carry it out in different ways and at different venues!
18 But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself [received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself] and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation [that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him]. 19 It was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and holding against [men] their trespasses [but cancelling them], and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favor). AMP
Be WHERE God wants you to be and do WHAT God wants you to do and you will be, of ALL people, MOST successful and fulfilled! Amen! Here is Hillsong with "Go", because THAT is what we all MUST do!
Shalom in Him!
