Could God depend on you?

In the old days, if one wanted to get a message to someone in a far place, they would use various means, such as tying a message on the leg of a pigeon, or sending a  “marathon runner.” We then graduated to mail carriers. And now, we have e-mail, newspapers, the network news media, etc. One thing we have always demanded, is that the message get sent correctly and in its entirety. A message sent incorrectly could be devastating. Undependable messengers could cause a lot of trouble and confusion. Even today, we are hearing reports that our network news many times sends out faulty information that hurts people, and they are then forced to retract the story and issue an apology. Some times the false narrative is so destructive that the damage cannot be undone. We need honest and reliable messengers! In the same way, God depends on us to share His gospel message to this world. He trusts us to send it correctly and completely. If we send the wrong message, it could lead people astray, and could even cause them to lose out on salvation. Determine today to be a trustworthy and wise messenger of the gospel of Jesus Christ! In this way, you will release healing and life everywhere you go, and you will please the heart of God!

Proverbs  13:17 (NLT) – An undependable messenger causes a lot of trouble, but the trustworthy and wise messengers release healing wherever they go.
