“I know God is preparing me for some ministry, some purpose, some kingdom endeavor...I don't know exactly what it is yet, but I know I am “created in Christ Jesus for good works” and He will bring it to pass...if I am patient.” That is the statement of an undisciplined follower of Jesus Christ...a follower who does not recognize that every day in every circumstance he or she must be involved in Christ's kingdom endeavor. The believer who “waits” to be used by God is missing the point completely. God breaks it down like this in 1 Corinthians 10:31 -- Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
We need to understand that every conversation, every thought pattern, every menial task, has kingdom ramifications. It's not a matter of being prepared for some future Godly endeavor...it's today...it's how we see our lives right now...it's being consistently committed to Christ-likeness in this moment.

This is the point of today's My Utmost for His Highest:

“It takes all of God's power in me to do commonplace things in the way God would do them. When Jesus washed his disciples' feet, he was performing work of the most menial and commonplace kind, yet the way he performed it made it holy. Can I use a towel in the way Jesus used a towel? Towels and dishes and all the other ordinary stuff of life reveal what I'm made of more quickly than anything else. It takes God Almighty in me to do my chores in the way they ought to be done.

“I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you” (John 13:15). Watch the kind of people God brings around you. You will be humiliated to discover that this is his way of revealing to you the kind of person you've been to him. He is telling you to treat the people in your life as he has treated you. “Oh,” you say, “I'll treat people as I should when I'm out ministering in the world.” That would be like trying to produce the munitions of war in the trenches; you'd be killed while you were doing it.

We have to go the second mile with God. Some of us get worn out in the first ten yards, because God compels us to go where we cannot see the way. “I'll wait to obey until I get nearer the big crisis,” we say. We have to obey now. If we don't practice walking steadily in the little things, we will do nothing in the crisis.”

Perhaps God does have some notably visible kingdom endeavor ahead for us, but if we are not faithful to the kingdom endeavors we face every day, we are missing God's calling. The song goes:

Day by day and with each passing moment
Strength I find to meet my trials here
Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment...
Ev'ry day the Lord Himself is near me,
With a special mercy for each hour;

That's more like how we should view our every day commitment of faithfulness to our Lord Jesus. My prayer for you and me this day is this: Lord, Your desire for us is not to wait for some special moment, but to live each hour of each day for Your kingdom's sake...no matter what or where. Help us Lord. Keep reminding us Lord. May today be totally devoted to You. Use our little things for Your honor and glory. Amen.

Walk with the King today and be a blessing.
