  Support and Opposition
  Beloved, it is a faithful thing you do in all your efforts for these brothers, strangers as they are,
  
• 3 John 1:8
  Therefore we ought to support people like these, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.

We spoke yesterday about spending our time and that it is the only thing we can sacrifice to God. All things have been placed in Christ the Lord and all things are His. We are nothing more than stewards of the Lord’s possessions. We all want to be good stewards but there is so much to do and so many things that we care passionately about.

Passion is an emotional word and might not be the thing that the Lord wants of us.

Let us think in terms of what the Lord has given to us to serve Him.

Ephesians 4:1-7 English Standard Version

1 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 7 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

Have we found our calling according to the gifts that we have been given?

If yes, do we know how to use them to serve our Lord?

These things take time to sort out.
