Leftovers

It seems like any time you start a project, there is never enough people to get the job done. Either you have too many bosses and not enough workers, or too many well meaning workers and not enough trained craftsman to give instruction. Either way, the old 80/20 rule seems to come into play. Twenty percent of the people end up doing eighty percent of the work.

Zechariah 8 (NLT)
⁶"This is what the LORD Almighty says: All this may seem impossible to you now, a small and discouraged remnant of God's people. But do you think this is impossible for me, the LORD Almighty?”

I wonder if sometimes we lose sight of the fact that everything we are allowed to accomplish in the service of our Lord is a gift from Him. Do we get so wrapped up in our ministry that we fail to remember that God doesn’t really need us to do His work? He has been performing miracles beyond our comprehension since before time began – without our help. The very fact that we are allowed to participate in His divine plan is evidence of His mercy and love for us.

If God has chosen to use us, then what right do we have to question either the task He assigns or the team He arranges? He has already laid out the plan to accomplish His will, and, however it is done, He will get the glory. Anyone who fails to get on board is not jeopardizing the completion of the job, they are choosing to miss out on the blessings that come from being a part of the Kingdom’s work.

We serve an awesome God!!!!!!!!!!!!
