God Has Something For You To Do For Him



God has something for you to do for Him. Every day we are so busy with our
daily lives. We have our calendars set. Some are so organized, they can
tell
you from minute to minute each day where they will be and what they will be
doing. That is good. We should be busy, and we should be organized. But
did you know that somewhere in that busy schedule you need to make some
room,
because God has something for you to do for Him.

First of all, never forget why we are here. God created us to serve and
glorify Him with our lives. If you start from that fact, then you have to
realize, whatever God wants us to do for Him has to take priority over
everything else. You see, God has blessed you with talents and gifts to use
for His glory. Most of the time, the job He has for us is to simply be a
light in the darkness of this world. That means living a life that is
pleasing and acceptable to Him, and a living testimony of your faith in God
to
those you are around each day. Each day He brings people across your path
that need a smile, a word of encouragement, someone to take a few minutes to
let them know they aren't alone. They didn't come to you by accident, God
sent them and expects you to show them His love.

We all have many problems of our own to deal with. Some more severe than
others. That is a fact of life in this sin-filled world and will never
change until He returns. The Bible teaches us clearly that if we are about
His business, He will be about ours. Trust me, God can deal with your
problems much better than you can. So why not let Him use you today, and
each day to be His living witness to those He brings your way of how real
the
Lord is. You will not even begin to understand the blessings that flow in
your life when you are fulfilling your ultimate purpose of serving Him, and
those problems you left in God's hands....somehow seem to get handled.
