It made me remember Paul’s advice to
a young Pastor, Work hard so you can present yourself to God and
receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and
who correctly explains the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 NLT
The test to use is to make a graph.
The left vertical line represents performance and the horizontal line is
potential. You rate each one low, medium, or high. From these results you can
find who has value and those worth investing in.
I think we should use this same kind
of tool when it comes to our Christian service. Are we being productive
for the kingdom? Would others think we have potential to grow and
mature in ministry? James says all believers should look in a mirror and be
honest about their relationship with Christ.
May we
all measure up to God’s plan for our lives. Amen?
