Do Something!

"And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me...She hath done what she could." So says our Lord of those who attempt to do anything for Him, whether small or great. He defends and commends any and all who do so. Whatever is done for Him, in His name, does not go unnoticed in Heaven. Even the most menial ministries   are not wasted, if done on and for Him.

Through the years there have been some of God's choicest saints who have helped us but, because of the circumstances of life, it was not in the way they would have liked. I always send them a note of thanks with the following scripture quotation:
"For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister."  

We can all do something. Most of us are called to keep our brethren on the firing line. I just watched the western, "Crossfire Trail" again. At the conclusion there is an exciting showdown. There is a older couple, proprietors  of the town store, who watched from the sidelines. Finally the storekeeper took rifles and ammo to the good guys. In doing so, the old man was wounded in the leg. At the end, as his wife was helping him up, he said, "We did something, Melissa!" To which she answered, "Yes we did."

May God help each of us to remember when doing something for God and His kingdom, "Something is better than nothing."
