Ephesians 1:18 (ESV)
Having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may
know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his
glorious inheritance in the saints.
In the famous Louvre Museum in France, there is a
painting by Bartolome Murillo called, "The Miracle of San Diego". In
the painting, two noblemen and a priest enter a kitchen and watch the kitchen
maids at work. One handles a pot, another a cut of meat, another a basket of
vegetables, and one tends the fire. The men look surprised to find that the
maids are not people but actually angels.
I like this. These weren't just kitchen help -- they were
angels! All of us have a job to do, be it in our warehouses, our offices or our
kitchens. Even the Lord Jesus was a carpenter by trade!
Not everyone is called to go abroad into the mission
field but I can tell you this. We are all called to be missionaries! We are all
called to spread the wonderful truth of God's great mercy toward us everywhere
we go!
God has each of us placed where we are for a specific
reason -- to fulfill the great commission! Let's pray and ask the Lord how we
can best fulfill the great commission where we are and allow the Lord to show
us how we can impact our world for the Kingdom today!
Dear Lord, we pray that we would each answer the call to
be missionaries. Help us have the heart to reach those that our in our path
each day. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
