If one feels the pull toward ministry, that one should not first evaluate the needs of the people, but the desire of Jesus. No matter how difficult and acute the needs of people are, unless Jesus is behind you, your ministry will falter. Jesus says go and make disciples of all nations and I am with you, even until the end of the age. Jesus did not say go and feed the people. He did not say go and educate the people. He said go and make disciples of them. As a product of Jesus' salvation, we above all should know that Jesus will meet the material needs of people. He wants for us to be salt and light to others so that others can be drawn to Him.
Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, all too often we even make ministry something of the flesh and it was never meant to be. Instead of our focus on the world, let us focus on You who is the author and perfector of our faith. Let us be steadfast in faith and have our faith grow and now dwindle. Then, let us see Your marvelous work come into fruition. In Your Holy Name I pray Amen.
