WHAT WOULD YOU DO FOR JESUS?

            When we read, we fancy we could be martyrs; when we come to act, we cannot bear a provoking word. –More

 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1

            Have you ever heard someone say, “I would do anything for the Lord”? Many times they really mean it. They may even start out running well for the Lord. However, when they see the sacrifices they have to make in order to REALLY do something for the Lord they are nowhere to be found.

All the Lord really wants is your availability; available to listen to Him, available to love Him, and available to labor for Him. Would you really do anything for the Lord? Then, be available!

WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE ME TO DO, LORD?

I used to ask God to help me.  Then I asked if I might help him.  I ended up by asking him to do his work through me. –Taylor

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1

From the pulpit to the pew, the Lord has plenty of work for everyone to do. All you have to do is make yourself available. Isaiah heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” We should echo Isaiah’s response, “Here am I, send me.”

Send me to the beggar on the street. Send me to the drunkard in the ditch. Send me to the lame in the hospital. Send me, with the Gospel in hand to meet the needs of the lost, hurting, and dying world. Would you echo with me, “What would you have me to do, Lord?”
