“Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.” Heb 13:2 (NIV)
God uses ordinary people to accomplish the extraordinary.
Did you know that God receives glory as you make yourself available for His use? God is not restricted by your ability. God chooses to use you based on your availability. His plan includes His power. When you align your life with God’s agenda, God’s power is unleashed in you and through you.
Don’t limit God! If you only reach out to people you know, you will constrict the impact God wants to make through your life. Choose to engage people outside of your normal sphere of influence. Be available to be used by God to touch people you would normally not cross paths with. Pray the prayer of Jabez (I Chronicles 4:10): Lord, bless me, enlarge my territory, let Your hand be upon me, and keep me from harm. Allow God to enlarge your territory by being available to go places you have never gone and meet people you have never met. It may involve a short-term mission trip overseas or simply a walk across the street to meet the neighbor you don’t know.
Are you willing to place your “yes” on the altar? Say to the Lord, “I’m yours! Use me!” Don’t put conditions on God. Make yourself completely available for God’s use in God’s timing for God’s glory.
Pursuing God,
