Summary: Have you ever heard the popular quote, "Let go, Let God"? Sometimes it can be an excuse to do nothing. Don't just sit and say that you're "letting God work." We are responsible to use our gifts, our education, our time and our finances to reach our world. We are to do everything possible to live lives of holiness that are "worthy of the Gospel of Christ." There is a time to be still and let God work, but that is after we have told our friends and family about Jesus Christ. If we hear the quote "Let go, Let God" and think we can now stop making an effort in reaching our world, we are off track. But, if we hear that quote and remember to trust God in our efforts and leave the outcome to Him, then we're doing great. If you are discouraged in your attempts to share your faith, pray and ask God to give you greater faith. But, if you are lazily sitting around and telling yourself you're just "letting God work" it's time to take action! A patient, persistent faith that translates into powerful action will cultivate reliance on God and draw others to Him. Will you trust God with your efforts this week? He wants to partner with you to reach people in your world with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
