By Bro. Bobot Apit  

When the Lord calls us to serve, we must not shrug back because we think that we have little or nothing to offer. The Lord takes what ordinary people, like us, can offer and uses it for greatness in his kingdom.

YAHWEH EL SHADDAI, we are all "nobody" but in your hands, you can make us "somebody". We should not worry on what to share when you ask us to stand among your people. Fill us always with your wisdom. Hold us in your hands that we may become you effective instruments of love, peace, joy, hope, encouragement. In Jesus Name! Amen!

Mark 3:13-19 And he went up on the mountain, and called to him those whom he desired; and they came to him. (14) And he appointed twelve, to be with him, and to be sent out to preach (15) and have authority to cast out demons: (16) Simon whom he surnamed Peter; (17) James the son of Zeb'edee and John the brother of James, whom he surnamed Bo-aner'ges, that is, sons of thunder; (18) Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean, (19) and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. Then he went home.

Meditation by Don Schwager

What is God's call on your life? When Jesus embarked on his mission he chose twelve men for the task of preaching the kingdom of God and healing the sick in the power of that kingdom.

In the choice of the twelve, we see a characteristic feature of God's work: Jesus chose very ordinary people. They were non-professionals, who had no wealth or position. They were chosen from the common people who did ordinary things, had no special education, and no social advantages.

Jesus wanted ordinary people who could take an assignment and do it extraordinarily well. He chose these men, not for what they were, but for what they would be capable of becoming under his direction and power. When the Lord calls us to serve, we must not shrug back because we think that we have little or nothing to offer. The Lord takes what ordinary people, like us, can offer and uses it for greatness in his kingdom. Do you make your life an offering to the Lord and allow him to use you as he sees fit?

"Lord Jesus, fill me with gratitude and generosity for all you have done for me. Take my life and all that I have as an offering of love for you, who are my All." # # #

GOD BLESS US ALL!
