I Need to Make Use of What I’ve Got

Have you ever noticed how many times in the Bible people were told to look at what they had? Here’s a few that immediately come to my mind:

• The widow with oil
• The boy with the fish and bread
• David and Ahimelch

OK, the last one’s a stretch, but the other two make great sermons.

So What Do I Have On Hand?

This week as I was setting up HopeInTransition.com in preparation of releasing the advanced copies of the book, I thought I’d make it easier for people to book me as a speaker. I did a quick Google search for Christian Speaker – and saw this site is ranked #2.

I know why it’s ranked above speaker services sites, writing SEO web copy is something I do for businesses. It’s just that I’ve only been speaking locally and have had to turn down international speaking invitations to Pakistan, India, Myanmar and Kenya in the past year as I’ve focused on providing financial security for my family.

But I love speaking and am going to make use of it more. It’s easy for organizations to book me (as time allows) and I’m giving away messages I’ve done both at HopeInTranstion.com and monthly through our newsletter at ExpectancyMinistries.com and I’ve been able to launch RevTrev Radio – which will soon have interviews with Christian authors, speakers and ministry leaders – but for now will be snippets of sermons I’ve preached the last few years.

I’m making use of what I have.

What do you have on hand?

Take some time to think about the gifts, passions and abilities God has given you. You may not see a connection with them and your problem at hand. But just because you don’t see how that little bit of oil will keep your sons from becoming slaves or how those loaves and fishes will feed five thousand, it doesn’t mean God won’t multiply what you offer him.

Have a great Canada Day everyone! If my daughter isn’t back from riding soon, I may have time for a few more posts.
