Nobody Did It James 2:15-18 #Nightlight #RTTBROS
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
James 2:15-18
You may have read the old story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
Sometimes people struggle to determine God's will for their lives. While there may be questions about major issues like where to live or in what specific role to serve the Lord, there are other cases in which there is no doubt at all. When God brings people who need our help across our paths, we are supposed to do what we can to help them. Of course, no one can meet every need, and many people have needs greater than we can meet. But we are to do what we can to help those we can, because we love them as God commands us to. James wrote, “If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well” (James 2:8). We certainly should pray for and with people who are hurting, but we must also be ready and willing to do our part to be the answer to their prayers. If God has given us the ability to meet needs, we need to do it rather than hoping someone else will.
Today's Growth Principle:
We should always do whatever we can to help meet the needs of the people God brings into our path.
