We have been given the great task to “go and make disciples.” Do you ever feel that some people seem more ready with the right words to say or more excited about going into the mission field to change the world for Christ? If you have ever felt that way, then today’s passage may seem overwhelming, but don't give up, God has a plan.I read our text today and thought about those who want to take the challenge, but are afraid. God does not want us to lose heart. He has called each of us and gifted us for this amazing work of making disciples. We are not all called to serve in the same way, but we are all called to serve.
I love the way The Message says it. “This is a large work I've called you into, but don't be overwhelmed by it. It's best to start small. Give a cool cup of water to someone who is thirsty, for instance. The smallest act of giving or receiving makes you a true apprentice. You won't lose out on a thing."
God understands, he doesn’t want excuses but he understands. Some of us need to start small, but it won’t be long and God can take our willing heart and change the world.
Read today's passage at Biblegateway Matthew 10:24-11:1
