What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached: and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. (Verse 18) Philippians 1: 15 and 18
Back in 1987 a movie was released, entitled "Planes, Trains and Automobiles". This humor filled movie was about a businessman (Steve Martin), trying to get home for the holidays. A series of bad events made his trip difficult...including the use of a plane, train and automobile. Eventually he arrived home, but not without some challenging moments.
I think about God's plan for this world in which we live. He has a plan to reach everyone with His message of hope and forgiveness of sins. He doesn't need our help, but He moves His children in certain places and challenges them with tasks for the benefit and glorify His kingdom. Although, as humans, we may mess up royaly, His plan still gets accomplished.
I can't tell you the number of times I have been totally distracted in life by self righteousness or sin, yet God still provided me with words to write these blogs everyday. Some of the best and most seen blogs were written when I was not totally in tune with God. He still used my fingers to type the message He wanted to get across to our viewers.
God is in the communication business. He wants us to spread His word to a world longing for a savior. No matter how "off track" you may be, He can still use you for His glory. So, the next time you turn your back on an opportunity to serve Him, because you feel unworthy, just remember, His son Jesus Christ paid your sin debt. Remain obedient and a willing vessel....He can and will use you no matter where you are in your spiritual journey.
Keep the faith and know God isn't looking for perfect Children to advance His kingdom to non-believers, He is looking for willing vessels. Make yourself available for Him, no matter what's going on in your life. He wants to use you to grow His kingdom. Be that willing vessel today. God bless.
