Fill in the Blank

 

But the LORD said to me,

"Do not say,

  'I am only a youth,'

For to all to whom I send you,

        you shall go,

and whatever I command you

        you shall speak.

Do not be afraid of them,

for I am with you

        to deliver you."

        Jeremiah 1. 7

(Do not say,

     "I am only a (fill in the blank.)"

No matter how skilled or unskilled,

no matter a small task or important,

no matter our job, position or title,

no matter a casual kind word

         or a corporate presentation,

first place, last, or lost in the middle,

we are being used powerfully

                by the Almighty

                for His glory

  in far more ways

  than we can even imagine.

We are seen, heard and sent.)

O LORD,

Please help us to be faithful

wherever we are,

in whatever we are doing,

to go into a scary place,

    or to stay in the familiar,

to follow You right into it.

It is not in us,

           but Christ.

And that makes

   all the difference.
