Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 8:1-5.
And not only as we had hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God. II Corinthians 8:5 NKJV

God does everything through you and I. What we regard impossible may sound frightening, even horrifying. That’s true if we take into account only our abilities and strengths, and not God’s. He is already aware of our capabilities, and just calmly waits for us to finally “be still and know that I am God.” Many people, be it Believers or Unbelievers tend to ask this question "God, how can You stand seeing all the pain, starving children, human trafficking, genocide, homicide, arm robbery, conflicts, injustice, degradation, poverty etc, in the world and not do something?" We ask this question forgetting that God works through people. God is waiting for us to arise and do something."

You and I form part of an army, the body of Christ, and it's going to take everyone doing their part to change this world.
God wants to work through us, so He's calling us to put on love and get to work. We can't do everything about a situation but we can do something about it to ensure change. Despite the trials and financial hardships of the Macedonia Church, they wholeheartedly gave themselves to support a good cause and also financially assisted. What an amazing commitment! That just amazes me, because they didn't just give their money, they gave themselves. God's calling us to live the same way. And one person working for the Lord has the ability to make a profound difference! So how will you give yourself to the Lord and be His agent today? Let's give our souls to the Lord to use, today I've given my soul to the Lord to be use as an agent of God what about you?
