Stop Listening And Start Doing

"In life, whether at school, at work, at church or wherever it may be, there always comes a time where you have to stop listening and start doing.

Education, encouragement and exhortation can only take you to the starting line. There is a  point at which you have to start putting into practice what you have learned."

- An excerpt from Child Sponsorship Week-Over To You by Peter on his blog Rediscovering the Church

Do You Have A Problem?

I know God doesn’t call me to take part in every organization in the world and save everyone from poverty, disease, etc. But I wonder if I, and most other Christians, have one of two problems:

1. A Listening Problem – We’re not open to steps God wants us to take in serving others.

2. A Trusting Problem – Will God take care of my needs, my family, and my stuff if I give all that I am to others?

That second question haunts me. We are part of God’s plan. Think of the abundance He has blessed us with. Are we willing to trust God completely or do we hedge our bets and offer up a few prayers on the world’s behalf? I’ve said this before, but sometimes I’ve wondered if, as I pray for people, does God look down and respond, “That’s why you’re there! That’s why you have the resources you have. Go. Be my hands and feet. Tell others about me through the way you love.”
