Faced with the seemingly insurmountable challenges of our day, you may be tempted to give up. You may be thinking what can I do? I’m too young, or I’m too old, or I don’t have any money, or I don’t have any power or influence. Which brings us to the four most unlikely miracle workers in the bible (see 2 Kings 7:3-16). They had no influence, no political clout, no powerful friends, no wealthy benefactors…nothing. Nothing, that is, except an indomitable spirit, an unwillingness to do nothing, an unwillingness to just sit there and die.

What about you? Are you going to throw in the towel or are you going to step out in faith?

“But God…chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong…”

— 1 Corinthians 1:27 (NIV)

Lord Jesus, give us the courage to risk failure and rejection rather than do nothing. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
