Lord, what do you want me to do?

 

"He, trembling and fearful, said: Lord, what do you want me to do? And the Lord said to him, "Get up and go into the city, and you will be told what to do" (Acts 9:6). As Christians, we often ask the same question as the Apostle Paul when we come to an encounter with the Lord: "Lord, what do you want me to do?" As children of God, each of us wants to do the will of the Lord. We want to respond positively when the Lord calls us to do something for Him. However, to find and do God's will in our lives, we must be obedient to God. We notice that in the verse's second part, Jesus gave Paul an order: "Get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." Paul obeyed that order. We often want to do God's will, but at our convenience. When the Lord asks us to do something outside our comfort zone, we complain or fail to do it. We are disobedient to what God wants us to do. If God shows you and asks you to do something for his Kingdom, rest assured that He will equip you with the necessary tools to complete the job. We must
trust and have the required faith in God. Remember that He never leaves you alone and will be with you every step of the way until you complete the work. May God bless you and keep you always.
