The fields are ready for the harvest...Will you go with me?When you have some good news-a big sale at the mall or sporting goods store, a new band you've discovered, a big win for your favorite team - you don't hesitate to tell people. Are your just as eager to tell people the news that God loves them and has a plan for their lives? When God asked the prophet Isaiah to go and tell people about the God who loved them, Isaiah realized his job wouldn't be easy. It would require sacrifice and make him unpopular at times. Nevertheless, Isaiah said yes to God.
God asks you to go and tell other people about him. You may not have to go far, possibly just walk into your own living room to tell someone in your family about God. You may get the opportunity to tell a friend at school or work about God. Telling others about God doesn't involve only words. Sure, talking about God is a great way to let others know about him. But you can also let others know about God by your actions. You can share God's message by lending a hand in your own city. You might go to a food bank and help unload donated food for the poor people in your city. You may do as some of our own youth at Selah take on a mission of "suitcases for kids", gather small bags with essential items like a toothbrush, blanket or stuffed animal so that another child regardless of a poor situation will have something to comfort them in the times of distress. You may even be challenged to go on a mission trip to another country and immerse yourself in service to others.
If you respond to God and say, "Send Me Lord," God will go with you.
God will go with you. God will be there when you talk to your family and friends and when you work in and for your community. God will be along for the ride if you decide to go on a mission trip. Your willingness to put God's plans for your life before your own is the response God will be looking for. Come January it will be six years that I have been serving as pastor of Selah and when I came I knew that I was on a mission for him. Since then he has shown me so much and helped me grow into being a pastor and my wife Jennifer into a wonderful pastor's wife. What has He planned for you?
Selah people' and friends start planning a way to put your belief in God into action. Include in your action plan a list of people in your life right now who might not know about God's love.
"Peace be with you as on mediate and think about all it is God has planned for you. Know that if you are willing to serve He will do great things with your answering His call."
Your pastor,
Rev Muston (PreacherPatrick)
