One of the first evidences of knowing God personally is a desire to do something in His service. It is at the point that we older Christians often fail. We wait for the new covert to get some experience before we give him a task. We fail to see that waiting to get experience without working may take a long time.
There is so much to be done and so few to do it. Jesus told us to pray the Lord of the harvest that He would send forth laborers into his harvest. We should so pray, but it will be partly up to the church to direct those God sends as to just where they should work.
Each of us Christians should seek the Lord’s leading as to what He would have us do, and then keep our eyes open for the task. We should not be too particular what, as all the work has to be done. Dwight L. Moody wanted to teach a Sunday-school class but the church had none for him. He just went out and got one out of the street for himself. Just remember that God wants us in His service.
