Do you have a heart for missions? You’ve envisioned yourself spreading the Gospel Message in some far flung part of the world…maybe you’ve even picked a particular country you want to travel to. And when a visiting Missionary comes to visit your Church, you’re the first one down at the Altar…accepting the call with all the fervor & enthusiasm you can muster. But all that ardor & eagerness is sadly left at the Altar when you return to your seat. You want God to supernaturally plop you on the Mission Field without you needing to do anything. But it doesn’t work that way as the Scripture above shows. We have to be faithful in the small stuff in order for God to work in the big stuff. Or as the old saying goes – Yes, God feeds the birds, but He doesn’t dump food into their nests. And being faithful in the small stuff starts with serving where you are. For if volunteering at Vacation Bible School, helping at the Church Work Day, or Greeting is a waste of your Spiritual Gifts & beneath you…God will never trust you with the many big things He has planned for you. In other words…if cleaning the Church’s toilets is unworthy of your time…you have become unworthy of God’s time.
