Partners

Praise [God] for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.

Psalm 150:2

When God invites you to stop and help someone He has placed on your path, He never asks you to go alone. You are His partner, and He goes alongside you (Hebrews 13:5).

What does this truth mean for your ability to meet someone’s needs? It means that while you may think you don’t have enough time, money, resources, or know-how for the task, God will use and bless what you have. He will back you up with acts of power.

You can go wherever God calls you with confidence, with assurance, and in anticipation of the good that will happen. And this confidence has nothing to do with you, your skills, or your passion. It comes because you serve a great God. The apostle John put it this way: “The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world” (1 John 4:4).

Remember that truth whenever Satan whispers that your contribution will be so small that you may as well do nothing. You don’t have to be afraid of insignificance, of not making a difference, of trying and failing. Even if you don’t immediately see the fruit of your actions, you can know that your service will not be insignificant because you go with God!

What a privilege to be a partner in Your life-giving ministry, God—and what a blessing to have You go with me wherever You call me to serve!
