“Let us not grow weary while doing good” Galatians 6:9 (NKJV)
Most of us are much too busy to add anything more to our already overextended schedules. We cringe at thoughts of taking on additional obligations. We have our hands full with personal responsibilities and the daily demands of our jobs, homes, and family activities. We are ordinary people with limited time and finite abilities.
Yet all of us have experienced the exhilaration of being at the right place at the right time to bless someone unexpectedly. Being "prepared for every good work" does not necessarily require a financial investment or additional time commitment, but a willing heart. The "preparation of the gospel of peace" that Paul speaks of in Ephesians is more of an attitude than a skill. Are we willing vessels, yielded to the lea dings and promptings of the Holy Spirit?
The joy of doing the gospel comes from allowing God's love to be available through us. To "be prepared" is simply to be available-attentive and mindful of those precious moments when a spontaneous kindness can illuminate a soul, bringing God's ever-abundant peace, joy, and light
