‘I am no use where I am.’ Christians could chose to say this of their lives. This could be thought by mothers at home with their toddlers. Their talk would be baby talk with no intelligent conversation with little chance to witness.. Someone might have a boring job with no opportunity to talk with others or working from home. How could they share the gospel? Would they think they were of no use? If a person was retired or house-bound. They would be isolated, not of use to God!
But as Christians we believe we are where God has directed us to be. Therefore the logical conclusion is that if we are obedient we are where God means us to be. God also says, ‘Go you into all the world and preach the gospel’ If God wants us to tell others of the good news of salvation, He must have planned that we are in the right place. He has a patch for each one of us. We can’t poach where someone else is supposed to be. Then who would be working in the place where God intended us to be? It is planned that wherever we are, we are of the utmost use to God.
