Messengers

“If they don't welcome you, quietly withdraw. Don't make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and be on your way.” (Matthew 10:14 MSG)

Whenever I order something online, either UPS or FedEx will deliver it to my door.  They drop the package off on the front porch and ring the bell. Most of the time, the delivery guys don’t even wait for me to open the door and sign for the package. They never expect a  tip. They don’t care if I like the product or use it. Their job is just to deliver the package in the most efficient manner possible.

Have you ever felt led by God to do something? As servants of God, we are mostly sent out to deliver packages and messages. We don’t have to worry about how they are received. Our job is to speak and live in ways that relay God’s message. Do not worry if the message is rejected or ignored. In fact, expect resistance and negativity, but do not let it get you down. Merely move on to the next assignment that God has for you. 

Lord, may we complete our assignments without getting discouraged or distracted. Help us to listen and obey and leave the outcome up to You.
