so much to do, so little time.

Ok. By now we all know that being a followed of Christ is much more than going to church, living a slightly more moral than average life, and listening to the Christian radio station. But, our instructions from Christ in the parable of the sheep and goats tells us to feed, clothe, visit, etc, all of the least of these. If this were our absolute, finite instruction, then go get some gatorade cuz we gonna be busy. Thankfully, God is specific with us. He knows us each individually and has given us gifts, very specific gifts. Ephesians 2:10 tells us we are God's great masterpiece, every one of us, and we have been created in this new Christ-life to do certain good works, jobs planned out for us in advance of our very existence. Now, THAT is pretty specific, don't you think? So, while we can be zealous to serve, and jump in to any opportunity that come our way, I think there needs to be a tiny bit of prayerful caution. Is this what god had planned in advance for you to do? Or is the job, perhaps, for you to delegate? To aid another Christian in their quest to be obedient to our call to serve? Maybe? That is just something to think about. Inthe apostles delegated. Instead of blindly serving wherever the opportunity presents, we should seek the Lord's complete direction.
