Acts 22:10a - "And I said, "What shall I do Lord?"
Have you ever asked the Lord, "What shall I do?" "Where should I serve?" If you've spent time in prayer, in His word, seeking His guidance and waiting for Spiritual direction only to find, you're not sure you've got it right - join the club. Sometimes we can get clear direction as how/where we should serve, like Paul did (Acts 22:10b); while other times, it may not seem as clear. So, what shall we do then? How should we move forward into service?
The Christian life should be lived: by taking steps of faith (without being foolish) but, being willing to pull back if God is not in it. Steeping out in faith becomes our "direction barometer" to determine if we should continue down the chosen path. Not being sure how things will go is not a reason to remain uninvolved. If we knew how things would workout- it would not be faith. If we had it all mapped out- it would not be faith. If we knew where the money and supplies would come from - it would not be faith. Faith is believing that God will be there to guide our steps, open or close doors as we walk in service to Him. So step out - but if you get a feeling that the Lord is not in it, regroup, see what else He might want to do.
Remember, even our Lord was a servant. What better example do we need.
The Truth
"The Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." (Matthew 20:28)
