Ephesians 2:10 (NKJV) 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
As we recently celebrated Thanksgiving Day here in America, I got up early to prepare my turkey and side dishes.
After dinner I rested and ended up falling asleep. Naps after Thanksgiving dinner are the best!
When I woke up from my nap, my next door neighbors were on my heart. I felt like God wanted me to bring them over some food.
They are an older couple, in their 80’s, and I think of them frequently, especially if they have been sick or are having health complications.
But today was different. I didn’t know if they needed anything.
God literally put them on my heart. And I had a million excuses as to why I shouldn’t bring a dish over to them. But I did it anyway.
They were very grateful and couldn’t thank us enough for thinking of them on this day. God is so good! He always knows what others need.
What caught my attention the most about this was that we should never think that everyone is OK just because of what we see on the surface, or what we may know about them.
We must listen to that still small voice that speaks to our spirit.
Obey it; we can't try to talk ourselves out of doing good things for people just because we can't see the need from our own perspective.
Whether it's a hot meal or just checking in on someone, whatever God puts on our hearts, we shouldn't question it or reason it away.
Do what He is asking us to do; it touches the lives of others and shows His love through our actions. We represent Him every day we are alive. When people see our good works, they see Him!
1 Corinthians 12:27 (NKJV) 27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
Who has He laid on your heart today?
