God wants to use each of us in a great way, but it sometimes won't feel like he's using us to accomplish much. When God was using Joseph in a great way, it felt like stay in jail for a while. It felt like doing the work of administration for fourteen years in Egypt. It felt like do the hard work of forgiveness because most of the time destined doesn't feel like it. Great things can happen if we do our duty and serve day in and day out. So often when we become Christians, we want the Christian life to feel like we're doing amazing and earth-shattering things for the Kingdom every moment of every day, but you're going to be sorely disappointed along the way if you think this way because walking in what God has destined you for often doesn’t necessarily feel big or grand.

Take some time to think and pray about if God has destined you to serve in such a time as this; to seek and save the lost by serving them as this is a key to living out God's plan. If we all do that, think about what could happen. We could see the day where every single one of us is being discipled by someone and is discipling someone else. We could see the day where you get in the baptism waters with that one person you're praying for, have them say the good confession, and have the joy of hugging them after you baptize them.

Reflection/Discussion Question: What is a way you've seen God accomplish great things in your life through the simple and everyday tasks of life?

Giving with Full Hearts

When you resolve to go all in on Kingdom-living, you are surrendering everything to Jesus and trusting that he will provide all that you need. You’ll find yourself looking at everything through a kingdom lens, seeing people as objects of God’s mercy and love rather than subjects of your judgment. You’ll see opportunities to give generously with joy rather than with anxiety. You’ll see your time as a tool to be leveraged in God’s kingdom rather than a scarcity to be preserved. But too often we settle for half-hearted living where we will give God a few hours on a Sunday and the left-overs we have in our busy lives (if we even have leftovers to give). We cannot wrap our minds around what is left to give because we constantly overfill our calendars and budgets. So, in the off chance we find some leftovers or we can move things around, we may be able to squeeze in some half-hearted giving. This is a backwards mentality to the way God calls us to live. Jesus tells us to “seek first his kingdom and his righteousness” (Matthew 6:33, NIV). What would it look like to fill your schedule with Kingdom work first, and then add in the left-overs? Instead of viewing your job as a way to make money, look at it through a kingdom-lens. Who has God put in your path to share the love of Jesus with? How can you invest in Kingdom relationships within your workplace? How does he want you to use the money you are making to bless other people? Look at the way you spend your time. What needs to be removed to make way for you to give yourself to others? How can you use your time as a resource in the Kingdom of God? The people of God are marked by whole-hearted, kingdom-driven living. So, if this is true, we must ask the hard question: Are we the people of God? Discussion/Reflection Question: What is your life marked by? Pray over your budget and your schedule this week and ask God how you might seek his Kingdom first and foremost.

Open the Eyes of the Living

In Matthew 25:14-30, Jesus tells the Parable of the Three Servants, sometimes known as the Parable of the Talents. In this parable, there is a a man who gives his three servants five, two, and one bag of silver respectively. The first two servants invested the silver and went to work with what was given to them so that they could earn more. The last servant buried the master’s money. When the master returns, he praises the first two servants and scolds the last one: “Now throw this useless servant into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (25:30, NIV). He has given us earthly resources and spiritual gifts to be used to grow his Kingdom, but many of us bury those gifts in order to live a self-centered life. Our selfish lives will turn to dust, but our work in God’s Kingdom will last for eternity. What have you been doing with what God has given you? God hasn’t given us earthly resources and spiritual gifts in order to just go to college, get a degree, score a good job, move up the corporate ladder, get married, have kids, send our kids to nice schools, upgrade our cars, upgrade our house, and generally live a nice and comfortable life. While these things aren’t inherently bad, these things cannot be our purpose for living. They will all turn to dust in the end. What won’t turn to dust is the effort we put toward eternal work. When we focus our short lives on loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength and making disciples of all nations, then everything we do has purpose. First Corinthians 15:58 says, “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain” (NIV). It can be sobering to think about the brevity of our lives, but it is even more terrifying to think of living a life that was completely pointless. The only way our lives can have purpose is if we find our purpose in giving ourselves fully to the work of the Lord. Only then will our lives have an eternal impact. Reflection/Discussion Question: Are you currently more focused on living for yourself or doing the work of the Lord?
