What happens when we are lazy, and sit back and don't do what God calls us to do? When we just slide through life getting by, and being selfish? I think when we do this we are taking away our potential and purpose. Good shouldn't be good enough we should want spectacular!
God expects us to work for his kingdom.
Colossians 3:23 "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.."
God also has equipped each and every one of us to work for his kingdom is a certain way.
1 Corinthians 12:4-7 "There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good."
God also calls us to serve others.
1 Peter 4:10 " Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others"
Whatever your gift may be use it. Not all gifts are seen by others, but all gifts will impact something. Sometimes we think we have to be a worship leader or help with children's church to really make an impact, but gifts come in all different packages. They are all just as important as the other. You may be a greeter, an usher, or a preacher but any of those gifts can change lives. You never know how your gift may impact those around you, so don't sit still MOVE. Sometimes when life gets to busy or full we squeeze out the most important stuff. Find your gift and make it a priority, get committed to it, stay focused on it, and be determined to work for his kingdom.
