I read the devotional My Utmost for His Highest
by Oswald Chambers and the other day I read this one and it felt so right! Each day, God speaks to me through these
devotions, but this one in particular spoke to me about my current situation.
“. . . so that I might finish my
course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord
Jesus.” Acts 20:24
Joy means the perfect fulfillment of
that for which I was created and regenerated, not the successful doing of a
thing. The joy Our Lord had lay in doing what the Father sent Him to do, and He
says – “As My Father hath sent Me, even so am I sending you.” Have I
received a ministry from the Lord? If so, I have to be loyal to it, to count my
life precious only for the fulfilling of that ministry. Think of the
satisfaction it will be to hear Jesus say – “Well done, good and faithful
servant”; to know that you have done what He sent you to do. We have all
to find our niche in life, and spiritually we find it when we receive our
ministry from the Lord. In order to do this we must have companied with Jesus;
we must know Him as more than a personal Savior. “I will show him how
great things he must suffer for My sake.”
I am living
in Gainesville, Georgia now and I have found the ministry God has for me. I get to be directly involved with
international missions while living in the states. I get to be a big part of every World Racer’s
journey from now on out! It is
amazing! I already love it here and I am
excited to grow in the Lord as I grow in the ministry God has made for me.
To continue
to help mobilize others to go on international mission trips – I need YOUR
help! Everyone who works for Adventures
in Missions must raise financial support so that any money that comes in as a
donation, goes straight to helping the poorest of the poor. Currently, I have $540 / month coming
in. I need to raise $2500 / a
month. I hope that you will see the
importance of the ministry that I am doing and you will want to invest in the
Kingdom in this way. Just think: if you
have ever gone on a mission trip – someone, somewhere is working behind a desk
to ensure that you get an amazing, life-changing experience.
