What Can You Do For God?

President John F. Kennedy coined the phrase, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”. I remember learning this in school as a young man. What could “I” do for my nation. As I have grown older, I recognize that I should to be a contributor as well. Sitting in my office this morning reflecting on all that God has done for me and His incredible faithfulness, a similar phrase comes out of my heart like the one President Kennedy said. “Ask not what God can do for you, but what you can do for God”. Today, we officially begin a 5 week holiday season. The temptation will be to focus only on celebrating and holidays. Yet, God needs us more than ever. The needs of people are only growing stronger. Ask yourself, “What is just one thing that I can do for God this holiday season?” Perhaps, help a family in the church? Make a phone call to someone who has no family? Inconvenience yourself and invite someone over for dinner? Work at a homeless shelter? Spend extra time in prayer for someone? As you do, remember that Hebrews 6:10 says, God will not forget your work and labor of love. The Lord sees what you are doing for him--even if no one else seems to notice. Remember, He will reward you!

Have an amazing holiday season doing something great for God!
