Steadying the Ladder

Our lives as Christians are doing one of two things each and every day. We’re either *Clarifying the gospel message or *Confusing the gospel message. Which does your life most often do? In other words, when persons look at the way you live, do they say, “Alright, I get it—that’s what it’s like to be a Christian.” Or are they more inclined to say, “Hmm, if that’s what it’s like to be a Christian, I’m not so sure.” As long as we’re living, we each have a job to do. As we constantly strive to do what the Word says, we do it best by recognizing the necessity of operating and partnering together as believers. We get the most out of life when we realize and celebrate that we all have different gifts, one not being more important or more valuable than another. Some of us preach from a pulpit with words while others preach in the workplace with actions. Some of us like to visit the sick while others make meals for young mothers. Some of us simply smile and have a good attitude while others of us are patient and gentle as we change yet another diaper. It’s been said that the man who steadies the ladder at the bottom is just as important as the man at the top. All kinds of spiritual gifts are clearly needed. It’s when we live out our lives, sharing these giftings with others, that the gospel message is best Clarified and understood. What spiritual giftings do you have and where can you freely give one today?

Bruce,
Life is more accurately measured by the lives you touch than by the things you acquire. A smile, saying HI, being nice to others, we can all do these little things. It is the little things in life that are the big things. May it not matter that we are stars, but that we twinkle.
