Have you thanked Him?
Have you praised Him?
Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?
Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?
1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)
The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.
As God's children, we are not to be observers; we're to participate actively in the Lord's work. Spectators sit and watch, but we are called to use our spiritual gifts and serve continually.

God has given each of you a gift. Use it to help each other. This will show God’s loving-favor. – 1 Peter 4:10 (NLV)
I spend a lot of my time traveling to churches and faith-focused gatherings to ENCOURAGE folks to EXERCISE their GIFTS of service to their community. In the last 3 years or so I have seen some amazing things BIRTHED in folks and in communities when people PARTICIPATE!
I love what Stanley says, we can’t be SPECTATORS!
We ALL as Peter has surmised been given a gift and to sit on it or on the sidelines is to WASTE the amazing IMPACT GOD has and had intended it for!
So today little OFH will be a little more concise than usual.
The message is a clear one!
Get off the BENCH as my friend Tim E. just commented on my FACEBOOK post!
You have been given some amazing talents and gifts by GOD Himself.
It would be a shame to let them sit dormant. In fact, it upsets GOD when we do.
Just check out the story of the talents if you need a refresher.
(Matthew 24)
GOD is looking for YOUR investment today!
Take what HE has given you and put it to WORK!
There are countless opportunities all around you.
We live in an intensely broken time.
I am confident that as you allow the LORD to speak, as you listen for his promptings and guidance as to where to go and what to do, HE WILL point you in the direction you should GO!!
The question is will you heed the call!
Love ya all!
Have a blessed DAY!
