Did you ever watch "The Blues Brothers" movie? In the musical comedy from the ‘80s, Jake and Elwood Blues emphatically state the motives for their crazy escapades, "We're on a mission from God."
Recently, I've been blessed to meet several people who are heading out on missionary trips. Their destinations are New Orleans, Haiti, and Kenya. I wonder if I ever could do anything so significant for God. I don't have their talents, skills or physical stamina. What could I do?
"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms." (1 Peter 4:10 NAB, NIV)
I don't have to pack any tools, medical supplies or building materials for a trip overseas. If I make myself available to serve, God will use me right here.
Dear God, thank you for your infinite wisdom. Please keep prompting me to give.
