Getting People To Serve……..

……..would be so much easier if I could guilt them into it.

Guilt is a great motivator, but unfortunately it isn’t biblical for me to be the harbinger of guilt. Therefore, I have to wait, and be patient, and pray that the Holy Spirit would use His skills to encourage people to act.

Today, Proverbs 3:27 “Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act.”

So, to me, the question arises, Who “deserves” good, or service, or help, or encouragement, or hope, or love, or kindness, or gentleness, or patience, or peace, or ………..?

I believe the answer to be very simple. The person who deserves these things is the person who “NEEDS” these things.

My challenge today is to open your eyes. Be ready to respond. Don’t squelch the Holy Spirit when He prompts you to “do good” to someone who needs it.

Make yourself available to God ala Isaiah 6.

Peace Out.
