Being an Able Man

Scripture 1 Chron 9:13 and their brethren, heads of their fathers’ houses–one thousand seven hundred and sixty. They were very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.

Observation: God has made us able to do His will. So to be ready to do the work and fulfill the purpose they were created for. I believe these men studied God’s word, stayed in prayer and served as Jesus calls us to serve putting the needs of others above our own personal needs. God has given us what we need and it is up to us to get prepared and ready to serve. Desiring to please God and do the work He puts before us is a decision, are we going to serve God or ourselves. Our eternity is dependent upon our answer.

Application: I’ve stepped out to do different ministries in our church, from speaking on Heaven on Wednesday night, sharing my testimony with others, giving a class on Getting over Depression and serving using my gifts in food service. All I need to do is keep stepping up and God does the rest. I don’t have to be personally qualified if God calls me He will equip me to do His will. I need to stop being selfish with this precious time that God has given me, I need to share it with others in any way I can.

Prayer: My Lord I thank you for all that you have blessed me with, especially this precious time I have. I would never have believed before I came to receive your Son as my Lord and Savior that I would still be alive today. This time I have is yours, please use it to glorify your name. I love you and desire to serve you always.
