What Can I Do
by A.J. Wilson

“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ Then said I, Here am I; send me.” Isaiah 6:8

“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”  Ephesians 2:10

And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men- Colossians 3:23

President John F. Kennedy spoke the immortal words, “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.” in his inaugural speech in 1961.  The words have inspired many in our country to join the military, to take civil service jobs, to volunteer, and so forth in order to “do for ‘their’ country.”  We of course also need to ponder “What we can do for our church?”  Sometimes we suffer from “sitting-on-a-church-pew-itis” choosing comfort over calling (see Eph 2:10 above).  Some may say: “What can I do? I cannot quit my job and become a pastor or missionary; I have to support my family.”  There are actually many ways that we can all serve our Savior. 

Live with Character- When we go to work, and go about our daily lives, we can miss a great opportunity to witness for Christ.  We should do everything as though we are doing it for God (Col 3:23).  Check yourself: would God be pleased with your behavior at your jobsite, the break room, on the road, and especially, at home?

Listen to Holy Spirit – When we are in tune with the Holy Spirit there may be some times that he asks us to “go and do” things for Him.  There will never be a shortage of work (the harvest is great) but a shortage of those who will say, “Here am I, send me.” Isaiah 6:8

Love with Christ- Share his love and do things with others, after all we were created for that purpose (Eph 2:10 & 2 Tim 3:17, Tit 1:16, 2:14, 3:8, Heb 10:24)
