What We Can Do

Read Mark 7-9

Mark 9:41 says, "For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward."  There is such great need in the world.  Haiti is having yet another catastrophe, natural disasters are wiping out communities, people are hurting.  Even if we had the resources to help, we can’t be in so many places at once.

But we can look around us and help those we see in need in our neighborhoods, at work, in our churches.  We can make a difference in one person’s life.  We may not be able to fix all that is wrong, but we can do something—anything would help.

That all God requires from us.  He expects us to reach out to the person next to us and do whatever we can do.  He can take care of everything we can’t do.
