Paul With No Training

Paul With No Training…

Soon after Saul, or Paul, comes to the Lord, we find him already teaching and preaching with no real training. He didn’t wait to know everything before preaching, he just started.

How do you learn to encourage someone, to lead someone to the Lord, to meet someone’s needs, to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, or visit prisoners? You just do it. Don’t wait until you know everything, until you have all the degrees, diplomas, and certificates – there’s no way you can know everything.

Minister now anyway. Share the gospel now. You don’t have to know how. Just do it. Touch the sick, visit the lonely, reach out to the unsaved, feed the hungry, and encourage your brother and sister now. Paul started doing it when he didn’t really know what he was doing, and he didn’t do too badly.

You don’t have to know what you’re doing in the Lord. You just have to know the One who does. You just have to do it, and God will take care of the rest.

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27

Don’t keep waiting for the right time and ability to minister. Step out and minister now, and it will be the right time, and God will give you the ability.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
