Daunting "assignments" a Christ follower: to speak as one speaking words of God, and to serve as one serving by God's strength.
I am tempted on this last day of 2020 to say, "Goodbye, and good riddance!" To look forward to 2021 with some nebulous hope that it will be less chaotic than 2020. I immediately remind myself, however, that all days are gifts from God, that each moment I live and breathe is opportunity to shine the light of Jesus and in so doing, to glorify God.
We are called to "go," and to speak the gospel to those who have not heard it. And it is by His strength and the Holy Spirit that we witness, proclaiming: "Jesus Christ is Lord!" We are also called to fellowship, and to encourage one another as we wrestle with the challenges of this world.
As Peter wrote in his first epistle, it is God Who provides words of eternal value, Who strengthens us for His service. May the coming year ... each day of it ... find His bondservants in passionate pursuit of His will in our lives. May God be glorified in all we say and do.
