What good am I?  A 94-year-old woman, Hulda Steubner asked her pastor what good am I. She could hardly walk and couldn’t help her dying daughter.  The pastor put her arthritic hands together and told her to pray.

Every person, young or old, short or tall, veteran or rookie in the faith have gifts to be used for the kingdom. They are not the same. But those simple gifts are there!  You don’t even have to know what those gifts are.  Just allowing the Holy Spirit to move you to financial generosity, generosity of your service or talent, is a manifesting of His work for the common good. 

Ask the Lord to guide you today and in the coming days as you consider your commitment to the work of the Lord in this place.  Dare to pray that the Spirit move you beyond your comfort zone and into the freedom of knowing that the Lord gives His simple gifts to you for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Prayer

Lord, as You moved Hulda to serve within her limitations, remove any barrier that might exist in our lives that would prevent us from being faithful stewards of the Gospel.  Lead us to pray, to give and to live in such a way that, through us, others see Jesus!  Amen
