April is here! The Excitement Builds!

Throughout our team meetings as we prepare to serve the Navajo women, we have shared our testimonies with each other and our fears, our shortcomings, and our personal  prayer requests. I came across this excerpt from a previous devotion and it spoke to not only our group but any follower of Christ in regards to service and ministry:

 
If you're not involved in any service or ministry, what excuse have you been using? 

 

Abraham was old; Jacob was insecure; Leah was unattractive; Joseph was abused; Moses stuttered.

Gideon was poor; Samson was codependent; Rahab was immoral; David had an affair and all kinds of family problems. Elijah was suicidal; Jeremiah was depressed; Jonah was reluctant; Naomi was a widow. 

John the Baptist was eccentric to say the least; Peter was impulsive and hot-tempered; Martha worried a lot. The Samaritan woman had several failed marriages; Zacchaeus was unpopular; Thomas had doubts; Paul had poor health; and Timothy was timid. 

That is quite a variety of misfits, but God used each of them in his service. He will use you, too, if you stop making excuses.

We continue to uplift each other in prayer and thank our Lord for the opportunity to make new friends in Christ, deepening our commitment to Him as we commit to each other in service and ministry. 

April is here! The excitement builds!
