It sounds very simple doesn’t it? I have the slogan of Nike in my head as I reflect on this days reading; Just Do It!
Nike always does a good job of making us feel like we can do it, the commercials, the advertising, and the mental changes that comes with their ads, I feel like I can do it, I can do it, or can’t I? What does it take for me to actually believe that I can, how many motivational commercials do I have to watch before I actually think I can? I am not sure, but I think with a change of mindset, unbeliever and non-involved to believer and involved is the change needed.
I think this is our challenge today, we have heard and listened to the lies so long that what we do does not make a difference, it does nothing for no one and you do not have the time to actually do anything, it does not matter, Stop listening to the lie! What you do matters, how you serve matters, how you impact a person for the goodness of the Gospel of Jesus matters, even if it is just a kind word, it matters. In God’s economy, when things are done for a purpose and done in His name, they matter. They are a catalyst for the Gospel to be realized and the Gospel to be advanced in the hearts of His creation.
I am not sure about you but the fact that we can be a blessing to unsuspecting people really is a great opportunity to care for someone we can have an impact on them, but we must rise up to the challenge. Matthew 25 is such a poignant chapter of Matthew’s Gospel, I am not sure why but it is so challenging, although at the same time it is so affirming, because it reminds me that when I do serve others I am serving Him! May we see His face shine on us when we Serve and love others.
