Do something!!!!




This song by Matthew West is right on the money!!! Listen closely to the words:






Wow! So true! He created you to be the one to do something in this world of ours! Quit looking around waiting for someone else to do what you can do! Remember this word from the Lord:



James 1:22



But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.



Romans 2:13

For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.



Don't worry about how big or small the task is that God has laid out before you, just do it. Everyday God places tasks before us, be looking for them. Kind word, a visit to a nursing home, a dollar burger to a homeless person, or a million other things. Another reminder from God's Word:



Matthew 25:31-40

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’



Hmmmm puts a little more on this thought of "do something" huh? As we have said in other devotions, our work does not save us but it does prove what we believe! Ar you a sheep or a goat? The righteous through Jesus Christ serve others! When we serve others we are serving Jesus himself! Think on that!



Folks don't wait on others, God wants you to do it!
