Faith is not at all passive. Nor is it just about dreaming. It is also about doing. Today, we can believe for more. Hope for more. And, put faith into action because our God “is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” Ephesians 3:20.

What does effective ministry look like to you?

Every believer has a place in the calling or ministry of God. There is no such thing as someone who has been saved by grace that is not equipped in one or more ways to operate in a particular gift (s) by His grace (Rom. 12:6). And while the area you are called to work in may not look like the ministry of another (1 Cor. 12:4), it is no less critical in its impact for God’s kingdom.
Like a well-functioning body, every member is needed to step up to the plate with their gifts (comp. 1 Cor. 12:12, 14). While the spotlight tends to fall naturally on those in the front, there are many behind-the-scene positions, if they were not managed by capable persons working in their gifts, then whatever is going on upfront would not be going on at all.
After watching a good movie, especially one with multiple twists and turns, I love to scroll through the credits to see those who participated in the making of the movie. My goal is to see who the writer is. Many eyes may be drawn to the main characters, but the real star of the show is the one who wrote the story. The one who allowed him or herself to spend much time in relative obscurity, working their gift to pull the story off according to their specific design.
There are no wasted behind-the-scene moments when working to help the service of God go forward, when helping to get His story out there. There is no work that we do for our heavenly Father that is to be considered unimportant if we are working where He has called us to work. There is great value in every calling (1 Cor. 1:26, 27).
And it was God who called the Kohathites for a special job. In the days of their wilderness wanderings, when the people were ready to journey, and the tabernacle had to be disassembled into its specific pieces by the priests, it was the sons of Kohath who were commissioned by God to be there to help in the process by being carriers of the holy vessels that were inside (Num. 4:15).
Because they were not priests; because they were not the upfront guys, the items would first be covered (for their protection) so they could not see or touch them (4:17-20), but they were still called upon to help carry the things of God, to help carry the ministry.
Where they were needed to work for the kingdom of God may not seem glamourous (after all, they didn’t get the special garments, with the special office of preparing the special offerings), but the work was helpful in successfully moving the articles of the tabernacle from one location to another.
Friends, your position of performance may not include being front and center. There may be certain parts your calling cannot participate in. But wherever God has placed you, it is important, and your service to Him is valuable.
1 Corinthians 12:18 states, “But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.” This is what I call the God-placements. According to His divine purpose and design, God has a special place for each of us, and every place we serve is essential and profitable for the Kingdom’s work.
While we may put much emphasis on those who are holding the microphone, speaking at large gatherings, singing to multitudes, and writing bestsellers – we forget the joy of being called where God knows we fit. Where God knows we can make the most difference.
We forget the importance of just doing. Doing what we do best for Him, for God. No matter how small or insignificant it may seem to others, it makes a difference for His kingdom.
One psalmist said, “For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness” (Ps. 84:10). Whichever way you want to interpret that verse, I would rather participate in the humblest of positions in the will of God than out, for in it I will find the richest of all experiences.
Everyone has a place. Everyone in their place can do something amazing that would help this work continue to grow and spread. If it is to hold a microphone, so be it. But if I only get to be a carrier for Him, let me carry the ministry God has instilled in me with all my might and strength, knowing there is no work, big or small, that is done in vain (1 Cor. 15:58).
Your reward may not come now with the applause of men (which is a heavy responsibility that produces low returns), but when performed for God, for His glory (1 Cor. 10:31), it will come with a “well done” (Mt. 25:23) from Him, the highest reward and applause we should seek.
Lord, though our flesh may desire to see more, do more, and touch more, let our spirit rest in the truth that if we are called to only be carriers of the ministry, we are called according to Your beautiful pleasure and placement for our lives. Help us to serve in that calling, with all grace, working to please our God and heavenly Father. AMEN!

“Now when evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him. When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock…” Matthew 27:57-60a, NKJV
If at no other time of the year, it is during this season when we are drawn closer to the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. As well we should be. In just one day we will be celebrating Easter (Resurrection Sunday) when we are starkly reminded of the cost of our sins and the victory that Jesus gained over it all.
The cost was heavy but the price had to be paid. It was unavoidable. But, that’s not the end of the story. To get to the end let’s back it up some first.
Sitting at what we now call the Lord’s Supper or the Last Supper, the Bible tells us, “And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to His disciples and said, ‘Take, eat; this is My body.’ Then He took the cup, and gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink from it all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins,’” (Matthew 26:26-28, NKJV).
Through all of the hints and teachings, if the disciples never really understood Jesus’ mission, He clearly lays it out here. Through the bread, He showed the brokenness His body would endure. Isaiah’s prophecy would soon be fulfilled. “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed,” (Isaiah 53:5, KJV).
With that fulfillment, a new covenant would begin. God’s plan for salvation would once and for all be sealed by His shed blood.
Knowing that, after we arrive back to the point after His death, how must it have felt for Joseph of Arimathea to handle the lifeless body of the Savior, whom he has come to identify with, for he himself became a disciple also (Matthew 27:57)?
After His body was given to Joseph, the Bible says, “he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his new tomb.” This is such a beautiful picture of the care and love for a Savior who gave it all up for him.
How are we handling the body of Jesus?
Joseph made sure it was wrapped in “clean linen.” Through the brokenness of His body, we have been healed. Through His shed blood, we have been washed. We carry the Savior and His new covenant on the inside of us. Have we wrapped Him in “clean” vessels?
David said, “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me,” (Psalm 51:10, KJV). The spiritual house on the inside of each of us has to be clean. Dust particles of any works of the flesh (Gal. 5:19-21) have to be removed. “Such things will not inherit the kingdom of God,” (Galatians 5:21, NKJV). “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God?” (1 Corinthians 6:19, NKJV).
When God blessed us with the Holy Spirit, it’s as if we are taking on a part of Christ. We can’t wrap Him in just anything. We have to meticulously make sure what we wrap Him in is clean, using the same care that Joseph of Arimathea did.
Then, “he laid him in his new tomb.” His refers to Joseph’s. It was Joseph’s new tomb that Jesus was being laid in. The vessel that Jesus was laid in was new.
When we have Christ on the inside of us we are not the same as we used to be. “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new,” (2 Corinthians 5:17, NKJV).
In handling the body of Jesus on the inside of us, we have to act like He is in something new. Renewed! Not to continue in all that old, used stuff before we knew and received Christ. But, brand new!
We’re not talking about refurbished or recycled to appear new. The vessel that Joseph had to offer Jesus was new! Remember, as Christians, we are that which has been made new. Are we keeping it that way? Are we handling the body of Jesus with great care? Is He wrapped in cleanness and laid in the new?
How did Joseph feel? Maybe a little in awe but mostly I feel (and it’s just my opinion) that he felt honored to be able to lovingly care for the body of the Lord. To be able to hold that brokenness with the knowledge that He went to the cross and died for him and all humanity – priceless!
“This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me,” (Luke 22:19, KJV). Don’t wrap Him in just anything.
Let’s take special care today for how we handle the body of Jesus in our clean and new vessels. It was given for us, therefore, let us take care of it.

His promise says I’ll never leave nor forsake you,
Even when the skies are no longer bright blue;
When the clouds and the roaring crash of thunder,
Threaten to overwhelm and drag me under.
His promise says I’ll be with you until the very end,
When people turn their backs and you can find no friend;
When troubles and trials make you cry at your wit’s end,
When life unravels, leaving a broken heart that needs to mend.
His promise says that this will work together for my good,
Though the confusion can’t be hardly understood;
When life is filled with “I wish I would,”
Taking me through all the could and should.
His promise says I lived and died for you,
Giving you everlasting life to help you make it through;
His salvation, sin’s stain erased and undo,
Bring through Him a victorious breakthrough.
“He who promised is faithful,” Hebrews 10:23

Father God, we know Your Word declares that it is the anointing that destroys the yoke that tries to bind Your people (Is. 10:27). We are praying that You would rain down Your anointing this day and break every chain that tries to hold Your people down. We pray for release to walk in the power of all You have declared for us over our lives. We believe in You! We know that You are at work on our case even as we speak. You are our hope and confidence in everything we face. We are praying in the name of the ultimate Anointed One, Your true source of anointing, our Lord Jesus Christ. May many people everywhere find true freedom and deliverance in Him! Amen, and AMEN! “THE YOKE SHALL BE DESTROYED BECAUSE OF THE ANOINTING!” (Isaiah 10:27)

Do you ever feel like life is a series of “Duck, Duck, Goose” games? There you sit in your circle, surrounded by other people. Then, the opportunity comes. The one who can tag you as the next one that can rise from the circle begins to make their turn around the circle. They look at each one sitting and try to take in the possibility of who gets to be the privileged one; who gets to be “goose.”
All eyes and ears are opened to that one. They watch. They listen. They wait in anticipation to see if the chance and opportunity to rise and run falls on them. As the game proceeds, the favor of that one doesn’t fall on you and you are left to sit in the circle once more.
Times of sitting and waiting is rarely fun unless you see the possible potential that can flow from that downtime. Often, many people, in many circles, of life are overlooked and passed by without a second glance. And, while it seems the favor of man has continually ignored and/or snubbed you, in your downtime, there is One who sees.
It’s so easy in life to get caught up and focused on the human to human point of contact and favor. While a better use of our time, down or not, should be focused on our human to God contact, and the potential of growing more in Him.
While David was a young man in his circle, he was overlooked not only by his brothers but his father too. When the prophet Samuel came to pay a call to anoint the next one to rise out of the circle, the next one to be king, David wasn’t even thought of when all the sons of the house lined up according to the potential that human eyes could see.
But, in his downtime, there were oodles of potential growing and producing a God-fearing, dedicated life beyond the eyes of what man can see. In my opinion, it is possible that even David himself didn’t see everything in him like God saw it, for he didn’t force himself to be seen by others and noticed. It was not until Samuel exhausted all possibilities before him did he bother to ask was there another option. Was there someone else who should be considered for this great honor?
He heard the whisper of God speak, “Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart,” (1 Samuel 16:7), and as all the possibilities passed before him, he found out the Lord didn’t choose any one of them, even when man thought and believed they were the logical choice.
No, but in his overlooked season, a heart was developing in David that caught God’s attention when others neglected to see the power of potential growing within him. A heart that loved God from the inside out. A heart that was sensitive to the leading and moving of God. A heart that had faith in God that would allow him to stand before a literal giant and make him fall. A heart in David was growing and maturing for God alone. This is what piqued God’s interest in him. Not the outward stuff that others could see and overlook him for. But God was excited and drawn to those things on the inside that only He could see.
Height. Stature. Good looks. Outward talent and so forth will all fade and deteriorate over time. But a heart that is truly after God will last and endure.
What we need to remember and take away from this story is that God sees it all. Although it is not right, many will continue to judge by only what they see on the exterior of all you have to offer. But God sees all the possibilities within. And, although many may overlook you, God has not.
Don’t sit in your circle idly waiting for other’s approval. Rather, wait on God, and live for Him. Once again, David didn’t seek their attention. He was outside with the sheep doing the work he was assigned to do at that time (1 Samuel 16:11) when he was called to be anointed the next king of Israel (1 Samuel 16:12-13).
Wherever you are in life, keep your focus on God. Live a life that is pleasing to Him from the inside out. Worry less about what others think and rest your hope in what God alone sees and knows all about you. This is not a game to Him, and He will never overlook you!

One morning as I was making a cup of coffee I ran out of creamer and had to open a new container. I unscrewed the top and picked and picked at the protective seal underneath to no avail. I couldn’t get it to rip off for anything. Finally, out of frustration, I reached into the dishwasher and grabbed a knife and punctured a small hole in the top of the seal. After that, it was easy for me to put my finger in the hole and manipulate the seal for its ultimate removal. Coffee time!
This had me thinking about how the enemy works in our lives. As long as we stay sealed up in Christ the enemy can pick and pick but our packaging in Him remains strong. No wonder Nehemiah (Nehemiah 1-3) felt such a compelling urge to get the walls of Jerusalem rebuilt to their full strength once again. Wherever there is a hole or a breach in any structure it allows an opportunity for an enemy to poke his nose into and gaining access to manipulate the circumstances of life. It makes his job easier.
Paul encourages us, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord,” (1 Corinthians 15:58). Our diligence will pay off after a while. We must be like a wall without a breach. We must take our cue from Nehemiah to patch up any deficiencies in our spiritual walls. We are the ones who have to be “steadfast and unmovable” to have our work count in the end. If we stop building and maintaining our walls then they will fall to utter ruin and we will have nothing to show for our work.
We must work at the upkeep of all that God has given us. “Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not,” (Galatians 6:9). Our press matters. Our work matters. Our walls matter. We must continue forth with the mentality of Nehemiah when he stated, “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down…” (Nehemiah 6:3). The enemy wants to thwart your work so that holes and weaknesses can be left for him to poke and manipulate. But, if we want to “reap” then we must not “faint.” We must push forth in doing good and leave the benefits to God.
Obtaining coffee creamer that morning was a struggle until I broke the seal. Don’t let the enemy break your seal. Stay covered in Christ and push forth until the end for your reward is coming. Now is not the time to give in or give up. If necessary, ask God to help you repair what is broken that you may be whole once again. Remain strong in God! You can do this!
Be blessed.

There can be days when the heaviness of life just won’t seem to let up. There can be times when burdens leave you spent and wrung like a dirty little dish rag. And, sometimes it’s hard during these down times to find something to smile about; to find hope in the midst of darkness; to know that you are not forgotten in the middle of the mess.
But, no matter what you may be feeling or going through, Jesus wants you to know, “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you,” John 14:18. He wants you to know that you are not in this alone. His presence refuses to turn His back on you. His presence doesn’t want you carrying these troubles by yourself. His promise says that He cannot leave you without comfort. You and I are not without the love of the Father present with us. He said, “I will come to you!”
Our Lord Jesus Christ will not abandon you to deal with life on your own! He is your help in the neediest of times! He is your strength in the weakest of times! He is your source in the emptiest of times! He will not turn away from you! He went to the cross for you that He might ever be with you! He’s with you in the midst of it all to ease the turmoil you may be feeling. He is with you to console raging emotions and thoughts. He is with you to support you when nobody else will. He is with you to show you how the love of the Father is very real and active for you!
He does this all through His abiding Spirit. His loving presence takes up residence on the inside of those who believe in Him. He is in there to fill any emptiness one may feel. He is there to bring healing to the hurt and damage inflicted by others. He is there to walk with you through all the ups and downs of this life, no matter how difficult it may appear right now!
He is with us as the rescuer of our heart, meeting the spiritual need in our life that nobody else can. We don’t have to wonder about it because Hebrews 13:5 assures us, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”
Did you see that word “never”? By absolutely no means will He not ever be with you where you are and in what you are going through! It can’t happen! It won’t happen! He loves you too much to leave you out there to deal with this world and this life on your own!
With confidence, let your prayer be, “Jesus, I need you,” and His promise stands sure that He is with you where you are through the power of His indwelling Holy Spirit. You are not fighting this alone! Every step of the way, He is there!
“Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee,” Deuteronomy 31:6.
“Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world,” Matthew 28:20b

The way one walks says a lot about them. When I’m grocery shopping I’m a beast. My walk is hard for my family to keep up with (which is why I shop alone, for the most part). I can hit five or six different stores in one day of grocery shopping (I know prices by heart and refuse to pay more for it or I want a certain store brand – pray for me :)). The way I walk shows everyone in my path, “I don’t play!”
You are identified by how you walk. You can tell if someone is tired by the way they walk. They may seem just a little slower and less focused due to exhaustion. If someone walks with a limp they can be identified as being sore or perhaps injured. A straight, persistent gait can imply confidence. Someone with pep in their step can give the impression of happiness. People pay attention to the way you walk.
People are not the only ones who pay attention to our walk. God is watching each life that goes before Him. That’s what the word walk means in the Bible. It speaks of one’s life or conversation. Their daily day-to-day affairs. Colossians 1:10 exhorts us, “That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing.” (KJV). Your walk matters.
The psalmist knew to whom he was living. He did not possess his own life. He did not own his own steps. While he strode across the face of this earth, “in the land of the living,” he was walking “before the Lord.”
How many days do we waste living our days for other people? How much stress do we put on ourselves to please other people? It’s okay to work in cooperation with others, but we don’t live or walk for them!
Choose today to live and walk before the Lord. Being a people pleaser will mess up your stride. If you really want to advance spiritually and in this world, live your life “before the Lord.” His opinion is the only one that matters.
Free yourself from the chains and shackles of people’s approval. If you are straight with God – then, you are straight! He’s the one that loves you! He’s the one that saved you! He’s the one that brought you to this new day. Use it to walk “before the Lord!”
Today, I walk before the Lord!

“. . . Because the Lord your God loves you,” Deuteronomy 23:5, NKJV
Those last three words, “God loves you,” are a salve for the broken-hearted and for hurting souls everywhere. If nobody else tells you, it’s three little words that God wants you to know: “God loves you.” If nobody else will show you, God said, “I will!”
Human emotions are so fickle. One day we’re up, and the next, we are down. Depending on which phase of life we are in, our perception of reality can be altered by how we feel during that current moment. If we are up, then it is not hard to fathom love coming from every direction, centering on us and making us feel good about ourselves. But, it is just the opposite when we are experiencing a downward phase. We, in essence, can be living in a whole house full of people, right under the same roof as yourself, and feel completely devoid of love, feeling empty, as you try to hand out to others what you do not feel coming to you. Love.
Love is not a plaything. It is not a joke. It is a passion that dwells inside each of us, hungering to be fed, desiring to experience fullness. I do not know anyone in their right mind who does not want to be loved. Who in the world is there that doesn’t want to be cherished by another? Who doesn’t want to feel cherished by another? Who does not desire the tender security of love wrapped around them, embracing them until every inch of our hearts can experience that affectionate overflow?
To deny the need for love is to deny the way God created us. 1 John 4:8, NKJV, says, “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” Love is instilled in each of us as part of His creation. “God is love,” and in the Book of Genesis, we read, “Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness . . .” (1:26, NKJV). We were made to feel and do as God does, and that means love, also.
“God loves you!” Throughout the pages of the Bible, the overflow of all He feels for us is proclaimed over and over again. He has plenty of evidence to mark the extremes of His love for us. Here in Deuteronomy 23:5, He is noted as reversing a curse because He loves His people. But His ultimate show of love came when He initiated His plan to reverse the curse of sin once and for all. The plan was successful, but it did not come without a price. His love for us cost the life of His Son, John 3:16. All that was done so that one day we might experience the joy of what it means to be loved, such a tender embrace wrapped around us that can’t be felt anywhere else.
“God loves you!” While human love can and will be fickle, God said, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you,” (Jeremiah 31:3, NKJV). There will come a day when “He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love,” (Zephaniah 3:17, NKJV). That is His tender embrace in action, that strong love that quiets everything else and gives us rest. It is like stepping into His arms, the arms of love and crying it all out, and feeling nothing but His love come over you. Knowing that God loves us in such a way inspires us for today. When we feel this love, it makes the broken heart feel revived, and the hurting soul feels lifted once again. We may not always get the love from humanity that we seek (and I will not downplay the need for that), but “God loves you!” Unlike our human counterparts and those we seek affection from, God’s love will not fail us. It is the real thing!
