Ready, Set, Go

Here’s a thought for you…Do you know what the first two letters in the word GOD spells? GO. Do you know what the first three letters in the word SATAN spells? SAT. When Jesus finished His work on earth, the Bible says in Mark 16:19 “So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.” He worked, then He sat. When you finish your work on earth, you can sit down too. Did you notice “Jesus went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him”. Have you ever thought about what you do every day? If Jesus’s focus was on people shouldn’t that be our focus? It’s really easy to get to the place where we’re so busy that we don’t see people anymore. Have you ever been in a restaurant or a Walmart check- out line and were so focused on getting in and out that you failed to see the face of the person who was waiting on you? That person may have been your ministry assignment for the day. Learn to look at people and ask God to give you the ability to see their heart. If they’re wounded, you can help heal the brokenhearted. If they’re needing someone to talk to, you may have the exact ears that can listen. Or maybe that person feels like no one cares and they have made plans to end their life. God places you in front of those who are in pain for a reason. He will show you what to say and do. It’s time for us to get up and go about the Father’s business! So save the sitting for later and just go!
